speak to your specialist if you see him or her and ask that person for help/advice. speak to the mh nurses and see what they suggest.

I was on it and did experience bad stuff if I misssed a dose - it doesn't take much to experience withdrawal - mine usually involved bad palpitations.

Venlafaxine is not a drug to be messed with - can you put your tablets next to your toothbrush to ensure you remember to take it?

Just to make you aware if there comes a time when you neeed to come off venlafaxine ensure your team do it properly - mine didn't and I had some horrible physical side effects.  I finally felt normal after 6 months!!!

Venlafaxine was one of the most intolerable drugs I had ever taken. Worked for a while but I couldn't hack the way it kept making me feel.
Missing a dose was hell...side effects were hell.

Speak to your dr if you keep experiencing problems.
