Brief Answer:
Venlafexine dose can be optimised.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to ask a doctor service,

I have gone through your query in detail and can certainly understand your concern towards your medicine and symptoms.

In this situation, it is better to optimise the dose of venlafexine to 150 mg total dose.

Every antidepressant would have side effects like carcinoma and all but those are not so significant and is not risky at this minimal advisable dose.

So, I would advise you to nothing to worry, and control yourself by checking in the internet regarding the drug and symptoms.

In addition, it is advisable to take some benzodiazepines like etizolam in the morning to get rid of your anxiety .

So, you can discuss with your doctor to get prescription based medicine.

Hope this information would help you.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry much about carcinogenic effects.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back,

I have gone through your follow up queries and can certainly understand your concern towards your medicine.

Venlafaxine may have cardiac side effects like diastolic hypertension but it does not cause harmful effects at adequate doses like 150mg.

Even the carcinogenic effect does not occur at this low dose.

So, try to control your impulse of checking in the internet as it is not harmful even if you continue life long at this dose.

If you are still worried you can take 37.5 mg only along with 75 mg as it would give you effectiveness.

Hope this information would help you.
Thank you.
