If veniz xr at the dose that you are taking has been helping you with depression and anxiety, I would certainly suggest that you continue to take this medication on a daily basis. I also hope that you continue to consult your regular psychiatrist on a frequent basis, as in once every 3 month at least. If you have further questions regarding any of the above kindly feel free to contact us.

37.5 mg is the lowest strength and you can directly stop it. But the more important point is if you are having relapses after stopping veniz. Then continue 37.5 for life as your body needs that bec of genetically less serotonin in your body. No side effect of the medicine.

Since you are already on medication I suggest you talk to your treating Psychiatrist and convey your current symptoms to them. It is possible that some changes in medication dosages will help improve the symptoms. As they are familiar with your history it is always better to have a discussion with them regarding this situation.
