So it's about what, 6 months since I came off venlafaxine, highest dose I was on was 225mg and withdrawal was AWFUL :wacko:
Anyway the head zaps and stuff wore off but now I think about it I've never been quite right since.
If I'm lying still and quiet but feel stressed or upset my entire body twitches, just like it used to on the meds. My libido is virtually non-existant now as well which from googling I've seen can happen.
This, as you can imagine has ruined my sex life and it's effecting my relationship :weep:
Has anyone else managed to come off this and had lasting side effects? I'm wondering whether to speak to my doctor about it but I really doubt there's much he could do.
