Hi bit of help please folks, I'm back on 75mg of venlafaxine after unsuccessfully trying to withdraw from this drug, I thought I'd done the hard part and got past all the head zaps and other withdrawal symptoms that go with this horrible withdrawal then bang I was an emotional wreck, got major fear, panick attacks and depression which I'd never really experienced before I was in a really bad place so had to reluctantly go back on the meds and have been for the last 10 weeks but this time the sideffects have been unbearable I've been constantly dizzy, nauseous and just feel terrible so under the docs instructions I have to try and half the dose see how I feel and if I'm not good I have to start taking the drug pregabalin along side Effexor, I was wondering if anyone is also doing this or if they are able to function just with 37.5 dose? Just at my wits end here and really struggling to find a way out x
