I am still trying to come off venlafaxine 75mg after being on them for 3 years. Thought I was getting better and they are not as effective so with Dr guidance came down slowly and have got to half a 37.5mg tablet morning only. I have been on this dose a couple of weeks now and I'm feeling a nervous wreck like before I went on them. I wanted to come off them as was worried about long term health on them and I've put 2 stone on and cannot shift no matter how much exercise I do and dieting.
The Dr wasn't keen on me coming off them but said he would support me whatever I decided. My health link worker in the past said I may be on meds for most of my life, so don't push myself to be off them. Are most people with GAD on constant meds or on and off or not on at all? please reply I would feel better if I knew what other people did, thanks for reading this Nic :unsure: :unsure:
