Worst antidepressant I've ever been on and I've been on many.... This stuff should be illegal. Horrendous life since on it.
How long have you been taking it?Worst antidepressant I've ever been on and I've been on many.... This stuff should be illegal. Horrendous life since on it.
Couple years I think, plus no booze since October. I'll speak to my Dr. There's even a Facebook support group for withdrawals.How long have you been taking it?
Good luck, hope it works out for you.Couple years I think, plus no booze since October. I'll speak to my Dr. There's even a Facebook support group for withdrawals.
The withdrawals are particularly bad from venlafaxine that’s for sure. Even taking a dose an hour late and I can start to get dizzy and light headed. It’s imperative you taper off it really really slowly if that’s what you want to do. And your GP should manage you coming off too.Couple years I think, plus no booze since October.

Extended or prolonged release ones. Vencarm. Yeah I just feel like Escitalopram may be better for meThe withdrawals are particularly bad from venlafaxine that’s for sure.

I’ve managed to come off it twice, but it wasn’t pleasant for a month or so after. Ended up back on it again anyways so it was a pointless endurance in my case.
Are you on the modified slow release version in a capsule ?
Definitely speak to your GP then as soon as.Extended or prolonged release ones. Vencarm. Yeah I just feel like Escitalopram may be better for me
