I was on venaflaxine for 11 months and on 75mg... so a low dose for a short time. I thought I’d have little withdrawal problems but it’s so hard!!

The first few days I felt like I had the flu - headache, runny nose, muscle aches, brain zaps etc.... but nothing mental. That slowly went and then it all turned mental. I’m having a few panic attacks a day and have really bad anxiety. I don’t feel myself at all I’m overthinking everything and it is not like me. I cry on and off all day but I’m literally sobbing. 

How long will this last? sad

      Hi I too suffer from really bad health anxiety and it's so upsetting yet I know I'm really ok it doesn't stop me worrying every time I get a small problem I escalate it in to something big and the panic sets in big time..... it all started when I lost 2 brothers and both parents at a young age.... I wish I could stop over thinking... anxiety is a real pain in the ads... hope touatefeeling better.
