Venlafaxine

Venlafaxine (75mg) for dysthymia

The first week was a disaster. Heavy sweating at night, palpitations, dizziness, nausea, dry mouth. After a few days these side effects disappeared.

Quetiapine (50mg) for dysthymia

Personally, I have experienced any of the negative reactions on here, but I'm only taking a low dose of this medicine alongside escitalopram 5 mg. Excellent medicine (a good combination?), before I was extremely paranoid, couldn't sleep, constantly panicking, really down and depressed. So many mood changes I was exhausted.
