Venlafaxine - warning mention of suicide

mouse2

I've been given an antidepressant called venlafaxine. I took just one tablet yesterday and within an hour didnt feel good. I feel rotten right now. So I googled if it's related to tramadol which I cant have it made me so agitated I tried suicide when I took it. It was a horrific time I really couldnt think straight. The venlafaxine effects arent as strong as the tramadol but I'm still really scared and its thrown memories back up :( so the 2 medicines are quite close in composition I found out from google. Feeling so fed up at the moment. Theres not many drugs I can seem to have. Anyone else the same? Thankfully I'm not alone this time as my husbands home

  • Always a difficult one to sort out and once you start thinking it makes you feel bad, you have the wrong mindset to trust it. However these SSRIs usually require a 2 to 4 week trial to see if they suit you as often side effects are greater at the start of treatment and then settle .

    Venlafaxine generally has low side effects, but as autistic people we may be very attuned to notice side . Th er idea is to start with  a lower dose or take half a tablet
