Need some help with venlflexine and my over thinking please

Need help please to take venlflexine
I was on citalopram for years saved my life and not been on them a month now and doc I have to start venlflexine but am emetophobic (fear of vomiting ) and am so so scared to start the venlflexine with over thinking will make me sick etc.. but my anxiety is awful right now am at the sucidal part I just wanna die like now 😭😭 I cant eat cos my throat and stomach so tight I just feel like giving up it’s not dare suffering like this then I sit and get depressed and mad at myself for not taking the tablet and not eating it’s one big circle 😭😭 how can I get through this and just take the venlflexine

Any good stories please

I have just started Ven 75mg slow release and have not had any nausea at all, this is day 9 so I guess if I was to feel it it would have been over the first few days. I think you just need to take the plunge and perhaps not read the side affect label when you get them so you don't dwell on anything.

If citalopram didn't trigger vomiting then venlafaxine is also unlikely too.

I urge you to discuss how you're feeling with your GP asap as there are ways of minimising your distress. Particularly please tell the GP about your suicidal thoughts.

How are you doing ?
Did you manage to start your Ven if so, how do you feel.
