I have decided to come off this drug and was only on 10 weeks. I have tapered as advised by doctors. For last 3 days been on 18mg (quartering 37.5mg) taking 9mg morning and 9mg night and still feeling rough. Headache, nausea, dizziness and tired. DETERMINED to stick at this dose any suggestions when im going to feel better?

    Hi, how do you feel now? It's my 6th say off Ven and yesterday was a bit better but today nausea is back, slight headache, exhaustion. I have also been on Sertraline for 5 weeks so I hope it helps with the withdrawals. I am not going back on Ven!! I was on the last 37.5 for a few days and then stopped. I am wondering how long will it last...?
