Hello Scott.
How are you? OK, I hope.
You seem to have moved boards!
Best,
Jah.
Oh, TO_girl, I empathise with your experiences; of the 60 or so meds I have tried, none have done as much damage to me as Venlafaxine. I've never recovered from it so can offer no real advice. However, I'm probably the exception; with most people the withdrawal symptoms recede over time. I have to say, though, that 7 days seems like an awfully short time to taper off what is a fair old dose of Venlafaxine. After 2 1/2 years it must be quite a shock for your body to have the drug withdrawn so quickly. As Scott suggests, a slower taper might be in order.
Good luck!
