I was on citalopram which stopping being effective after 18 months. Started on venlafaxine instead straight switch and improvents felt completely within 2 weeks. No side affects just ned to remember to take morning AND night as opposed to once daily. Noticed if i miss a dose i notice symptoms start to return. Happy and hope this helps good luck
I had no side effects
I was originally on Citalopram for depression. Having developed breast cancer, I was prescribed Tamoxifen, in order to reduce the risk of the breast cancer returning. However, the effect of the Tamoxifen is reduced by the Citalopram. The only antidepressant which can be taken with Tamoxifen is Efexor (Venaflexin). Since it cannot be prescribed by GPs, I had to be referred to a psychiatrist. Very inconvenient but worth the effort since I need the Tamoxifen for the breast cancer treatment and I couldn't have gone without an antidepressant.
The variety in strengths is a great help when reducing medication i have taken this for many years from 225mg now on 37.5mg
