Yes first day today can't move my head too quickly! X
Hang on in there. Do go and talk to your Dr if it's too bad...
Thanks Suzi I start the new medication Tuesday x
Remind me what the new one is, is it Duloxetine?
You're doing so well!
Yes Rose third time lucky! X
I hope this is the best one for you x
Thank you everyone
When will the waking up every half an hour shivering and soaking wet stop!
(panda) hunni, if it gets too much please call your dr. It may be they can give you something to help
I completely agree.
Unable to go to work today, such an awful feeling maybe I will go to doctor tomorrow. X
Please call the dr, anyone who's come off venlafaxine knows how difficult it is. There's no need to do this without support from your dr.
I agree with Rose. Try to see the doctor today.
I am going to ask my husband to leave work early I feel really unwell. Thanks ladies.
Is he coming home?
Hi Suzi yes he should be back from London soon. I have managed to have a sleep and feel much more comfortable, the trick is to lay still. I will of course go to the doctors first thing or call the nhs line if I feel worse again.
Glad you're being sensible about it all lovely.
If sleeping and lying still is getting you through it, then do what's necessary.
I slept a lot when I was coming off Venlafaxine because I knew that being awake was going to be tough.
I don't think its avoidance of the situation to sleep right now, just a tool to get through a very tough period.
You had a very bad reaction to this drug so I think it makes sense that coming off will also be tough.
Please make sure you seek medical attention if things don't feel right.
I really hope this passes soon!
Hi everyone just want to say a big thank you for your support yesterday. I haven't been to the GP as planned but I am feeling much better today less dizzy and have started he duloxetine as planned. Travel sickness tablets helped last night with the nausea and I will pop to see my doctor this week anyway as I have lost weight over the last couple of days. Has bad night sweats again last night but managed to ignore them and not get too worked up.
How come you didn't see the dr?
Because I was feeling much better than yesterday
That's great!
How are you feeling today?
Much better thank you Paula. Slept perfectly with no night sweats and dizziness has gone. My depression symptoms are back but I know that's due to me starting the duloxetine. Such a relief to be feeling less dizzy and sick :-)
That's wonderful! :):)
Hi ladies I am itchy all over again and already have two new bruises and broken blood vessels, my gut feeling is the new meds contain something my body dislikes. Back to the GP I go!
Oh no :(
Venlafaxine and Duloxetine are in the same family of anti-depressants. Maybe that type of AD just doesn't agree with you.
Good luck at the doctors.... you poor thing!
Oh no! Well done for sorting it quickly though!
Let us know how you get on.... it sounds like a nasty reaction. (bear)
Hey, just wondering how you are?
