So you may remember I posted last week re coming off Venlafaxine having been on a relatively low dose since end of Dec (37.5 then upto 75). I didn’t react well at all to the 75mg dose and my doctor told me to simply stop taking them! I had enough of my 37.5s to drop down for a few days but ran out on Weds so have been off them since then. I have been SO Sick since stopping!! Constant dizziness and brain zaps,nausea and sweating along with lots of crying. Spoke to the doc again Fri and she prescribed Stemetil for Virtigo which hasn’t helped at all and just made me sleepy! I can’t carry on like this....how long will this dizziness last!? I’m scared to drive and I’m due back at work tomorrow looking after preschoolers. My doc won’t prescribe any more tablets and if I’m honest I’d be too scared to take them anyway. Is there anything I can do to help me feel normal again!?!?!
