venlafaxine

I have just been prescribed this and although fought hard to try and manage matters without meds, I started rising with nauseous feeling and had become tearful.
I have been prescribed 75 per day. It says it causes drowiness which I#m confused about as it is a stimulant.

The other option was fluxotine but I was on this a year or so ago and not sure it did anything. My moods are triggered by winter but also housing condition and not sure how I can change either.

Any personal ancedotes about this med would be so helpful.
