For 3 weeks I took the drug velaxine R and felt a feeling of pleasant currents melting all over my body, which lasted for several hours. After 3 weeks, I increased the dose of the drug, but I felt very bad afterwards. Feeling cold from the waist down, numbness in the legs, huge dryness in the mouth, nervous tics (twisted my body) in the form of bending the body. It seems to me that this drug began to work, but these side effects were unbearable. Was this drug good as it started to work at first?

I suppose you mean Velaxin ER - it is a preparation used in depression and anxiety disorders. Drugs such as Velaxin ER begin to work after about 2 weeks, sometimes later. The effect of improving mood or disappearance of symptoms of anxiety, phobias or panic attacks is expected - depending on what exactly is wrong with the patient. Any medication may or may not cause side effects. Sometimes they are more severe at the beginning of therapy and disappear with time or after dose adjustment. Sometimes it happens that the drug is effective and works in the area of the condition for which it was prescribed, but at the same time causes side effects that are unacceptable to the patient. In such a situation, it is not possible to judge whether the drug was "good" or "bad" - it was simply poorly tolerated in a given patient. Both increasing the dose of Velaxin and stopping therapy and the occurrence of significant side effects should be discussed with your doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I enclose material on the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders and our video - you may be helpful: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/depresja https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-poradzic-sobie-z-nerwica
