yes tell you boss mate, if anything happens you and him are covered, we have do it in work you should be ok on them.
Ask your doctor for something else if they are not agreeing with you , did not like them myself seemed to bloody agitate me more than help. ps go before you are on them for a while as coming off them after a period of time can be a bit unsettling.
sure its not the new job worrying you keeping you awake?
Yeah not the new job, been awake at silly times but I would just fall back asleep again, now am up at say 2 and can't sleep again.
Waiting for a call back off the Doctor to explain.
Thanks for the advice
My advice would be to take them first thing in the morning ( if you aren't already ).
Take them when you wake up with a small snack. That way you'll hopefully drop off again and they start to work when you're asleep, meaning you're on an even keel when you wake up - normally when the symptoms are at their worst.
Yeah taking my first one when I get to work so between 8-9. Should I take it earlier?
When do you go to bed ?
10pm normally
Try taking them when you first wake up ( whatever time that may be ) rather than taking them before bed ?
From my only personal experience I was always at my worst when I first wake up. From what I've read it's due to the chemicals in your brain being properly out of sinc, due to being asleep and your brain being in an " altered " state . Many others who post on here say the same thing.
If you're waking early, possibly due to the meds, it may well work to take them and then go back to sleep and when you wake they're working.
Only a suggestion mate. I'm not a professional, just from my own experiences.

They can upset routine mate first couple of weeks my body clock was all over the show,eventually settled down when I was taking them 6-7 am,so i would give it another week or so and if they still do the same as now talk to your GP

Hi peeps, I'm struggling to get back into the work vibe at the moment, as I said I left college last week, I took the next 2 off. I'm supposed to be in college this morning but have stretched out a appointment with first steps(not till 11.30 haven't gone in).
I'm banging holidays in left right and centre because I can't face being at work. I honestly don't know what to do for the best at the moment, part of me knows that there is light at the end of the tunnel and stick it out in case I regret it in the future, another part of me just wants out of there because it is holding back my recovery in my eyes.
Then I've got to appease the partner, she is more concerned about bills being paid, understandably, I feel a stuck in a catch 22 at the moment. College this afternoon and I really don't want to go.
I have been weening myself off venlafaxine and will be starting setraline tomorrow.

I've been to first steps and called in sick to work, going to have to take time off again, I don't feel that being there is helpful. Can't see occupational health until next wednesday.
Regressing back into myself now, can't be around people, If they had listened to me in the first place they would have known I wasn't ready to go back.
Sod everyone else I'm doing what I feel is right from now on.

Go back to the docs pronto mate. It could be that you need the dose readjusting or possibly some new meds. Sounds like your body has become used to them and they're not working properly anymore ?.
