After my weekend and last night I phoned my GP this morning and told her about the self harming over the weekend and the visions I had yesterday of slicing my arm open and not sleeping that well. she has decided for me to stop the Venlafaxine tonight which I;ve been on for 9 days and start back on Cit 20mg tomorrow night. I did ask if I should persevere but with my previous history of suicidal thoughts etc she did not want me to continue. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks

    Morning Tina,

    As I type I am going to be the 37th reply! WOW! It is so nice to see so many care about you!

    I didn't reply last night because I was in bed a little after 8pm and now only just got up. I slumped right down yesterday evening with really bad buzzing and couldn't do anything, virtually unresponsive and incapable of anything so, I went to bed.

    A little better this morn, but I wonder, if as levelling out at 30mg seemed ok it obviously isn't, I should raise it to 40mg?

    Anyway, here's sending you loadsa positive thoughts and prayers and I suppose I'd better leave you to answer your replys!

    Here's hoping you have a good one (mind you down eer in Deb'm tis dank and depressive me dear.

      Hi David

      Sorry to hear you're having a rough time at the moment especially after you seemed to be on the up but as they say these blips are bound to happen.

      Hope you managed a good sleep and a positive day.

      Hugs
