Hi Jay,
Yeah, I could never get that high on venlafaxine. I found 75mg very hard to tolerate. Interestingly, I found nortriptyline helpful too. Unfortunately, I stopped it (for some stupid reason and relapsed).
From my research, nortriptyline is much better for depression that is accompanied by inflammation. I think nortriptyline can reduce microglia inflammation. Venlafaxine just feels like it is putting a large wall between me and my emotions. Interestingly too, venlafaxine gives me way more heart palpitations and chest tightness than nortriptyline which doesn't make sense 'on paper'.
I have some alternatives that have been helping me lately:
- agmatine
- PEA / licorice
- magnets
- cyproheptadine
- peppermint extract
- belladonna extract (careful with this one)
