I have been on prozac for a few years for depression but my anxiety was also getting worse over the last year, I was reverting back to my bad old days of ten years ago. I was put on Effexor/ Venlafaxine at a low dose of 75mg about 4 months ago. I am currently trying to come off this as my head is way out there somewhere. I've been having suicidal thoughts, I walk into rooms and wonder where I am, oher things to that make me think I'm going crazy. I'm glad it's not just me. My doctor shrugged it off as my dose was low and said that it must just be stress. Please can someone reassure me that this will end. How long do you think it will take for me to come off them and be back to my own sort of normal? What experiences have you had trying to come off Effexor/ Venlafaxine? Is there anything that I should be aware of that I might not recognise in myself? I'm feeling realy isolated by this and it has been comforting to realise that I am not alone.
