I've been having some anxiety and OCD issues, so I went to a psychiatrist and got prescribed Depran H. After taking the first tablet, a few hours later, my vision got kind of blurry, like when you're a bit drunk, and I noticed some mild shivering too. Is this something normal with this medication?

I just started taking Venlafaxine the other day and I'm noticing that my chest is getting more numb and tight every day. It's even giving me a bit of pain and makes it hard to breathe sometimes. I've heard I shouldn't just stop taking it because of withdrawal issues. Are these symptoms something that usually happens, or is something wrong? And if I decide to stop it soon since I just started, would I still go through withdrawals?

Patient is advised tab augmentin 625 mg ,orally, thrice daily for 7 days, tab levocetrizine 10 mg bedtime for 5 days and syrup salbutamol 10 ml thrice dailly for 7 days .

I took 5 petril beta 10 tablets, even though my psychiatrist told me to only take half. I was really stressed, and now I'm worried about what might happen. Can you tell me if I should be concerned or if there's anything I should do right away?
