Venlaflaxine hard to get.

HelenT2

I was wondering if other people were experiencing problems obtaining the 75mg Venlaflaxine tablets ? I am having to double up using the smaller tablets. The chemist told me that the smaller tablets (37.5mg) may well be taken off the market too. Anyone have this happen to them with other antidepressants and what did you do?

Have you tried other perhaps bigger chemist chains? or spoken to you r GP?

I was on Venlafaxine a few years ago, but found that if I missed a dose I would have a severe "crash". I was prescribed Vensir XL (a slow release version) that seems to give a cushion. These seem more readily available, too.

Thank you for this @A75stevie and a warm welcome to the community!

Hi @HelenT2, have you been able to get your medication?

Hi
I can only get the smaller dose and I have to double up.

I hope they manage to sort it soon @HelenT2!
