Hi folks.. I am seeing a Lot of Negative comments about Venlafaxine.. I'm one of them.. I feel I have to say this because that drug is not good..For Me anyway! It's Very difficult to come off it and takes MONTHS.. The side effects are very unpleasant.. Depression !! I'm still taking a reduced dose because I'm too scared to reduce further.. Supplies Run out and No explanation is Ever given ! Pharmacy don't let you know until you go to collect it then tell you to try Some other pharmacy and they've none either !! Withdrawal is dreadful !!

Was going to see my GP until this Corona Virus ..So I doubt they'll have time for me just now.. Rock and Hard Place!! No I'm not ranting.. I'm sorry for people on Venlafaxine and suffering like I am.. I want off it.. Another six months no doubt !!
