Hi everyone. I am currently on Venlafaxine anti depresant which i have been on for the past 6 week. I was on previously on it last year. But whenever i get a cold my antidepresants stop working and i am forced to try a new one. Although i have always been sensitive to antidepresants and they have always made me feel worse. I seem to have become really sensitive to how they make me feel. And to be honest i feel i would be better with out them. When i cut down on Venlafaxine i have the 37.5 tablets and take two then cut down a quarter of one tablet at a time. I can get down to approx 28mg with no bad effect but when i reduce to approx 19mg i get bad head tension, fatigue, unable to think clearly and the feeling of being spaced out. Im desparate to feel like myself. But i hate being on anything above 18mg because it makes me feel depressed and has effects on me that stop me leading a natural life. Is there anything i can do or take to counter this particular withdrawl reaction. Thank you
