Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

I never want to be around people anymore. I guess there are more reasons than just these wd symptoms, I think it's a combination of things. I do like this forum a lot. I'd hang out with all of you!

I almost feel like I should keep track of good days vs bad days. I wake up crying. That can't be good. It's only been 10 weeks off Effexor. I have good moments and I even remember encouraging other people to stick it out. When is enough enough? I exercise on purpose, for mental health. Then it hurts my back. Little things cause my whole world to crumble. I am envious of my little 8 year old who abounds with happiness. She is wise and pushes though her own roadblocks. It's only 7 AM. I suppose I'll see what 8:00 has in store.

Good Morning @sandj,
Funny you should mention that.
There was a time that I felt that way, too.
I really didn't want to spend time with my granddaughter (wanted to see her and then have her leave), which is VERY OUT OF CHARACTER FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought I was going into a depression (or my chronic pain was just getting to me) which is not me.
I'm an anxiety chick.
When I went to my then psychiatrist, she also thought I might be having a 'bit of depression'.
So, guess what she did?
Upped my Effexor.
Didn't thing twice because I knew something wasn't right, not wanting to spend actual time with my granddaughter.
Guess it might have been our good friend, Effexor.
Not feeling that way anymore, thank goodness!
But, I 'll have to keep this in the forefront of my mind as time progresses.
Have a peaceful day!
Ronnie (GRANDMAr)
