Hi there, I am a 65 year old man ...in 2002 I had two nervous breakdowns, spent time in the Priory and was prescribed Venlafaxine twice a day 150mg per tablet.
Last year I decided that the time had come to wean myself of it and coped admirably on just one tablet a day.
Now I am going further and am down to three a week. No anxiety, no depresiion and a sunny outlookon life. However I have some symptoms and wonder if these are connected to the withdrawal. I perspire heavily, not all the time but episodic and sometimes go light headed. If I'm watchinga sentimental film I fillup...but not in a sad way...just emotion. Is what I am experiencing normal ? Has anyone else been through it /
