Anxiety cuz Venlafaxine is wearing off?

Posted by Lamdage22 on July 9, 2019, at 4:22:11

Hi guys,

i take 37.5 mg Venlafaxine at night. Could it be that my afternoon anxiety is because Venlafaxine has worn off?

Hmm. I assume it is the XR version?

You could try splitting the dose (morning and evening).

I take XR in the morning and I find my mood crashing around 6pm or so, so I think even the XR wears off.

Your theory is plausible.

Then I will take the XR in the morning and at noon? My psychiatrist is so relaxed, he basically told me I can do anything I want with Venlafaxine from 0-75 mg and I can take it any time of the day.

I am trying 37.5 XR in the morning and in the afternoon. I also think about trying Trazodone XR
