I have been taking Venlafaxine for a very long time.. I want to stop but it has to be done Very Slowly.. Believe Me!! Suddenly stopping is Very Dangerous.. Extreme Depression to the point of Suicidal thoughts.. I was very Lucky because I realized it was the Venlafaxine withdrawal Not Me .. Plus.. this drug isn't available fairly frequently.. excuses are " manufacturers or supply problems" !!! I've had enough of it now.. Hope to be able to change to a less powerful Antidepressant.. So, if you forget to take it be Very Careful.. Feel Down and can't understand why. check out your tablet pack !
