Ya gotta phone on the day!! No advanced bookings!! I hate the venlafaxine, it makes me feel crap, one good thing though is i have noticed that i am not getting as angry as quickly as i used too. A while ago a small thing would make me rant and rave or lash out!! Other than that, I honestly dont feel any less depressed, i stay home most of the time because i cant go out, i have put on loads of weight (i have the body of a god - buddha) cant eat ...... blah blah, here in england we are SUPPOSED to see the quack every 3 months for a check up and not one thing since october!! no letters, no phone calls or visits from them.......... ho hum smelly bum....... its fun being bananas though!! thanks for your response and good luck to you too. Huggles!!
