First thing doctor wanted to do is put me back on venlafaxine. Absolutely not! I will let you know when I have results from bloodwork. He mentioned testing for food allergies.

I just find it peculiar that my symptoms began during withdrawal. I have read that after long term use it can take up to a year for withdrawals to subside. Yikes! A close friend is a nurse that told me, a couple of months ago, that any long term medication your body adapts to it on every level and can have significant impact on us when stopped.
