Symptoms of discontinuation are similar to other antidepressants including irritability, restlessness, headache, nausea, fatigue, excessive sweating, dysphoria, tremor, vertigo, irregularities in blood pressure, dizziness, visual and auditory hallucinations, feelings of abdominal distension, and paresthesia. Other non-specific mental symptoms may include impaired concentration, bizarre dreams, delirium, cataplexy, agitation, hostility, and worsening of depressive symptoms. Online help groups consistently mention withdrawal from venlafaxine as triggering dreams of a particularly distressing and hellish quality

no, i have an appointment in a couple of weeks though

ever since i started taking these i've pretty much lost the will to live. i don't go out anymore, i stopped going to the gym and exercising, i haven't practiced drawing in months, i stopped communicating with my long distance family, i haven't cleaned the house in months, it's a pigsty. because all i do is sleep. i don't live. i just...exist. like a shell. i stayed on the meds because i thought they just needed time and i needed to give them a chance to work but it's just killing me slowly

i can't take it anymore
