Off venlafaxine for 3 weeks

I had been taking 75mg since January and switched to 37.5mg for 7 days starting June 24th and then went on to take it every other day until July 6th or 7th (can't remember which). Lately, I have been experiencing nausea everyday and get carsick if I am not the one driving. I have horrible headaches multiple times a day and I am extremely irritable all the time. Another thing I have noticed is my face is breaking out worse than I have ever had. I know that these are withdrawal symptoms but should I still be feeling this way after almost 3 weeks or could this be possible pregnancy symptoms? I am still on 150mg of bupropion twice a day. Not sure if that could have anything to do with it.

Hi
I am withdrawing too from venalafaxine and I got cyclizine hydrochloride anti sickness pills from doctors and it really helps with side effects.

Try Xanax when side effects get very severe and fish oils, vit b tabs and a good multi vitamin.
Also try a few sessions of REIKI

My doctor took me off venlafaxine in 2 weeks. I have just got Benedryl to help with side effects.
