Am I getting worse or is it still venlafaxine withdrawal?
My symptoms seems to have gotton worse in the past week or so. Stupid spending, unbareable fluctuations in mood, hallucinations, terrible paranoia out of the blue and my sleeps gone up the wall
Do you think it could still be from coming off venlafaxine? (37.5mg btw) it's been over 2 weeks now since my last tablet or has my illness, whatever that may be actually got worse? Things have always seemed to get worse when I've come off ADs.
I've scared my other half silly, when he awoke at 3am to me having a full on panic attack in tears unable to go back to sleep. It was until the next day I was able to tell him I'd seen my grandma (who's been dead over 4 years) stood by the bedroom door I also had this awful feeling something was coming to get me, hence the panic. The only way I managed to get back to sleep was (and don't laugh) I had a conversation with homer simpson about fishing in my ceiling... I really hope it is just withdrawal, I don't like the thought of completely losing control and becoming permenatly psychotic, it scared me enough for what realisticly was about 20 minutes, it felt like ages.
Anyway, any help is much appreciated
