Venlafaxine for Vulvodynia Reviews

"Venlafaxine at 37.5 mg per day definitely decreased my vulvar pain, but I developed terrible itching all over my body so I had to stop using it. I also couldn’t orgasm and it didn’t help my anxiety/depression."


"Put on to Venaflaxine for depression, but also before venlafaxine I had had what to me seemed like Vulvadynia and since being on Venlafaxine have had no pain so it seems to have cured my venlafaxine and my mood is back to normal"


Effexor XR (venlafaxine) "Probably saved my life at the time, but I developed a hypnotic-like falling-asleep-at-the-wheel problem on drives of more than 30 minutes in length; so regretfully had to stop using it."
