My name is pinkyponk and I am a nervous wreck. Been suffering anxiety and depression since childhood. Having a bad time of it lately, waiting for cbt referral. So tired and had enough of everything. Tried counselling privately but didn't help much and couldn't afford it anymore. Gp has written me up for venlafaxine but only 37.5mg a day which is half the standard starting dose. Maybe she doesn't think in that bad? they had me do a questionnaire at my first appt but I'm worse now than then. Just wondering when is best to start the pills. Got work tomorrow so was thinking to start them on Friday am so if any side effects will be at home. Any suggestions?
