@mare58 So sorry for you. Please get a new doctor or psychiatrist to help you wean off this med. I know nothing about this med but I do know a lot about antidepressants as a lay person because I have taken so many the last 35 years. I am presently weaning off Effexor, replacing with Mirtazapine, because it has no sexual side effects as so many others do. I am doing well as I am retired and have little real stress. Just sharing this as one of many options. Also I have found CBD to be a good natural anti-anxiety remedy. I used it to help with side effects of coming off meds. Take care.
