[QUOTE="Monkey201, post: 491867, member: 39939"] Hi nutty, I see you're on Venlafaxine. I was on this but after a few years, it started making me ill, nauseous & retching whenever I walked more than a few feet, dry mouth, constant excessive sweating, etc. I didn't realise it's such a strong anti-depressant/anxiety drug that is harsh on the system until 3 different consultants said so, asking why I was on such a high dose (225g daily). It causes bad problems for many - just thought I'd let you know in case you want to move to a better drug, unless you're ok on it. I was recommended Duloxetine by my diabetes consultant and have never looked back, although initially sceptical. If only someone had told me years earlier, I'd have saved myself the worsening 1-2 years nightmare that was Venlafaxine. I also figured from the Buscopan that you may be stressed/have IBS/CFS (like me)? Again, Duloxetine apparently helps ease the pains associated with such illnesses, which painkillers are useless for.
