Anyone reinstate Effexor (Venlafaxine) after 9 weeks off to taper more

@cherrycherry the symptoms of withdrawal are getting out of control for me too. I mentioned to the doctor that they seem worse each day. She recommended I give Prozac another try but to take 1/2 of 10mg every other day. I took it on Tuesday. Today was a better day than yesterday but I still had mild anxiety symptoms so I took 10mg of propranolol. That helps a little but not 100%😞. I’m going to try my best to hang in there with taking the Prozac because I don’t want to get back on Venlafaxine and start all over again with tapering. Thanks for letting me know I can reach out to you 🤗

@wynnaa it does seem Prozac is the way to go, but when your going through the withdrawal from Venafaxine and anxious , the thought of trying a new tablet is frightening . The Prozac will take a couple of weeks to kick in I expect ? Best Wishes !

@wynnaa hi i feel for you it’s a dilemma-
I am trying to stay off of Mirtazipine which I stopped three nights ago but since then cannot sleep past 3 am getting about four hours sleep. Can’t take any valerian or chamomile as on blood thinners so am now concerned as feeling very tired but not anxious. Have some burning skin sensation too 3am histamine rush.
Really don’t want to cave in and go back on the medication
