Venalfaxine withdrawal
Posted , 6 users are following.
I have been tapering down from 275mg for about three months now and bee hanging on to taking 37mg per day for the last six weeks. Yesterday I decided to not take anymore and was ok but today is hell on earth so I gave in and took one about two hrs ago but still feel just as bad I suppose because its been out of my system for a while a d will take to kick back in. I am now going to try one day on and one day off and see how that goes. Right now I would rather be dead than feel like this it's taken me ages the type this post as I feel so slowed down and exhausted, got brain zaps and feel so depressed and hopeless to the point were I just can't cope

You will feel like hell. the half life is short for ven and it washes out quickly, hence your feelings.
Try the bendryl (acrivastine) trick or sudofed as they have chemicals in which are chemically similar to those in ven and it tricks your brain!
Try stugeron a sea sickness tab to help too but they make you drowsey.
Ask your doc for diazepam for the panic. a small dose makes life bearable!
Be kind to yourself. its like coming off heroin! your not gonna feel cock-a- hoop n be patient with yourself too..........
If its too bad your psych may know about using prozac short term to help.
Best of luck. the fact your drug is legal doesn't mean your 'withdrawl' will be any easier!
