37,5.
I thought it wasnt doing anything, but it was doing something. I took the edge off depression just a little bit.
Definitely more than nothing.
Since its such a low dose, can i take it at night?
If i take it in the morning im anorgasmic until like 10PM. lol

I've always heard it can be stimulating, but...I'm not your doctor, clearly, so ask your treatment people.
I've read somewhere that BuSpar helps w/ sexual side effects. I think it was buspar. Wellbutrin can, too, but I doubt that's an option for you.

My doctor says no. He also says i wont need it anymore in 6 months.
He says quite alot of things actually.
I thought it was ok as long as i can sleep.
With the large amount of APs i take i can.

See, if i took like 300 or 400 mgs in the morning, id have double the blood level that i now have with my 37.5 mgs.
At least thats my thinking.

I did the math. I have less venlafaxine in my body if i take 37.5 at night than if i took 300 in the morning.
So if 300 in the morning is fine, then 37.5 at night should be as well.
I sleep due to the APs.

The reason for not taking it at night is because some people find it causes insomnia. I don't see why you can't take it at night if it doesn't cause insomnia.

I'd find something else. Anorgasmia sucks
