Long term effects AFTER withdrawing from Effexor

Wow! I hate to think that Effexor can cause permanent damage. I was on it for about 18 years and have been dealing with PAWS (extended withdrawal symptoms) since I tapered off 4/14/18. I took supplements to minimize the withdrawal symptoms and still take some of them (but now once a day, down from five times a day). I am DEFINITELY much improved, so I am hopeful that post-Effexor I am not permanently damaged.

What supplements did you take to help with your withdrawal ?

My wife took effexor for almost 10 years and she weaned of slowly in 2018. She had to do it slowly because otherwise she became dizzy. Now since a year she the dizziness comes and goes throughout the day. She is in generally unhappy and she cannot socialize. She is coping with psychological problems. Her memory is very bad, can’t remember much from the past. And shortterm memory is also not good. I think she has permanent damage from the medicine. When she tapered off she didn’t use any supplement due to lack of knowledge. Wich supplements can be used in her situation. Do you have any suggestion. Wat do you use as supplement
