Hello I was on Venlafaxine for about 2 years. I can’t remember how or when but probs after about a year I started getting extreme fatigue in the evenings. Think may have been around the time of going up to 300 from 225 or coming down from 300>225>150 I can’t remember. But I stayed on for while and was still getting really tired in the evenings. I have since slowly tapered off over 6 months roughly to completely stop. I am 14 weeks off and still experiencing extreme fatigue. I have had blood tests, heart scans all of that stuff and everything is fine according to doctors. This makes me think I am still withdrawing? I thought maybe it was depression but then remembered I experienced it on my meds when I wasn’t depressed. It just feels like it isn’t getting better and I’m not sure what to do. Any help/advice/similar stories would be appreciated.
