Long term effects AFTER withdrawing from Effexor

I was on 450mg for fifteen years. I titrated over four months to zero and ended up in the hospital.
I now have unremitting suicidal depression and anxiety ( never had anxiety before) and I can only sleep two hours at a time.
My provider is giving me drugs to address the symptoms /discontinuation effects.
I was mildly depressed fifteen years ago when I was put on psychiatric medication. I was also loved and respected.
Now I am suffering from all sorts of aliments and have lost everyone and everything that ever mattered to me.
In hindsight I didn’t need the insane level of medication that was prescribed to me. Now I despair I can’t function without some amount of psychiatric interventions.
Medicine has screwed up before, bloodletting and oxytocin for instance. We are just starting to learn how badly they’ve gotten mental health treatment messed up.
All I am left with is the daily struggle to be relevant.
May we all live in good health and peace.

Dear DFB. Thanks for the blessing at the end of your story. 3rd John vs 2 KJV Bible Says I wish above all things, brothers and sisters, that you may prosper, and be in health as your soul prospers. I somewhat paraphrased. I believe you can experience peace in the midst of your horrible storm, and can begin to see those storm clouds breaking up. You can make it just hang in there. Philippians 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. May I Share in closing, my life verses from the psalms, chapter 103 verses one through five. Bless the Lord oh my soul, and all that’s within me bless your holy name. bless the Lord oh my soul, and forget not all your benefits. Who forgives all of my iniquities, who heals all of my diseases, who redeems my life from destruction, and who crowns me with loving kindness and tender mercies, and who fills my mouth with good things so that my strength is renewed as the Eagles. I did that from memory from the King James Bible, it may not be quoted perfect, but I’m telling you these verses of scripture have changed my life and are sustaining me today.
