Hi, I'm on 150mg per day of venlafaxine. It's really helped with my pnd (along with an emotional wellbeing course and an 8 week pnd group),and I'm thinking of asking my gp to reduce or wean me off them completely.
However, I'm quite forgetful and probably forgetting my pill once a week. The next day I feel terrible. I shake, have terrible headaches, feel dizzy and behave quite irrationally. It's making me a bit frightened of coming off of it.
So, if I forgot to take it should I just take it when I remember rather than leave it to the next morning? Also, what are others' experiences of coming off venlafaxine?
