Yeh your absolutely correct their I had to take another 2 months off work with this unsuccessful withdrawal attempt and it took a few weeks for the ven to get back in my system and actually get out the house again it was horrible, I dunno what I'm going to do to get off this med x

Agreed, Pulisa. Whenever I can catch someone who is considering coming onto ven, I do try to ask about the person's needs. I mean, for me it's fine because the lowest dose I need to face is 75 mg, summers. With SAD, I am looking at likely many years anyway, providing it doesn't "poop out", although that seems to be rare. But if anyone has the intent to be meds-free after awhile, or suspects that their doctor plans to withdraw them down the road, then they should see about an alternative.

Meanwhile, I have heard folks on here say they had a better time of it by switching first to a long-acting SSRI like Prozac, then withdrawing from that!
