Hi Guys,

I'm 8 days off Venlafaxine 75mg XL-wasnt my choice! could't get an GP appointment and surgery did not respond to mine or pharmacist plea for an emergency prescription. So i have done it on my own (I even got chucked out of a support group as I did not want to go to A&E and wanted to try and do it as was on day 4). I have managed to go to work all week and some of my symptoms have started to subside. HOWEVER, I now seem to have developed flu or a chest infection??? chest hurts, chesty cough, blocked nose, feel sick, heartburn, achy bones and muscles and sooooo tired. Is this withdrawal or have I just got flu!!
