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

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."
