Taking venlafaxine

Does anyone else have terrible motivation to take this medication? I've been on it a while now as well as a couple of others and am beginning to reduce the doses, although not the venlafaxine yet. I have a drawer with my pills in it and I stand in front of it for ages everyday willing myself to take them, I'm about 6' away just now and should've taken them this morning but I can't face it.

I loathe taking them but I know I need to carry on and taper down slowly with the psychiatrists help, don't know if there's such a thing as pill fatigue!
