This september will be four years that have been on venlafaxine 150 mg anti depressants and now dont really feel that they are doing much.
Anxiety needs to be controlled by buspar and propanolol and its not exactly helping on that front.
The depression side things are much improved sure but what mean is not sure they are not helping with other issues:
These issues are
0 to 10 10 being the most severe it gets.
Feeling spaced out lost feelings of unreality 8/10
Feeling angry and resentful 6.8/10
Feeling disorientated dizzy 5.5 10
Feeling panic nervous tension anxiety 8 10
Feeling sedated lethagic drained 7.5 10
Feeling low and pointless unmotivated 7 10
Now realise that all drugs have side effects and if miss a dose
then feel dizzy bascially s***.
But these side effects spacing out like am not yet awake all the time glazed over like in a trance has nothing to do with not getting enough sleep.
Anxiety used to be rocketed and soared by boozing night before but now drink problem is sorted and hardly drink the anxiety is bad, panic and nerves so it does nothing for that.
Also am overweight sort of beer gut podgy gut and flab nothing major but when try and shift it through exercise am not seeing results so it could be the metabalisim issue.
Now venlafaxine is a very hard drug to come off so reducing ways what is the safest.
Reducing the beads daily or every other day in capsule feel that this could be the safest way but it seems impractical.
Missing pill out every other day seems risky
Going down in strength 150 to 75 to 32 etc halfed safe but lengthy not that it matters.
Want the quickest method but of course the safest method.
Even if it takes a year.
Am 27 now and have feel like now is the time want to come off this drug for good.
