I'm having great difficulty getting off the final leg of getting off Venlafaxine. I've gone from 225 mg/day to 37.5 mg. I went extremely slowly and it's taken close to two years. But this last part is almost impossible. I'm thinking of seeing a specialist since my GP is absolutely useless helping me (clearly she's never been on a drug this addictive). Should i see a psychiatrist? I was also thinking of seeing a substance abuse specialist since (I'm guessing) they are well experienced getting people off addictive substances. What are your thoughts?

I think you’ll be very lucky to find anyone to get you off this drug easily. This is a hard one. Anyone else care to comment?
