Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

Hi everyone. Haven't posted lately. I'm now taking 150mgs of effexor and 50 Seroquel. The Seroquel has not helped at all. It makes me feel numb emotionless and depressed. I've only been on the Seroquel 4 weeks now and hate it. Going to quit taking it. This isn't living. This hell on Earth.

Thanks for checking back in; we were worried about you. Very sorry to hear that your medication mix is not working for you. Please be sure to get with your doctor to see what else can be done.
I’m so sorry you’re not doing well. Has anyone discussed electroshock therapy? Maybe it’s not called that anymore, however. But I have heard wonderful things about it. I have a friend who was treated with it and it helped tremendously. I wish doctors and people understood anxiety and depression better. I agree. These past few days have been harsh. For you even more.
Incidentally, perhaps it’s obvious but, are you a farmer? Reason I ask is because where I live, there are commercial in TV asking “do you know a farmer with depression” and it’s a common thing. I love in delaware, bTW. I’ll see if I can find out more. Perhaps there’s something specifically you need/are lacking that could help.
Keep on hanging in there
