Hi everyone it's been a scary couple of days but I am pleased to say my bloods are fine and I have suffered a rare and severe side effect from venlafaxine. I need to taper myself off the venlafaxine and start duloxetine. Any experiences of this one?

Glad you know what it is, don't want to scare you but venlafaxine can be difficult to come off - so if you're feeling rough the next few days that's why and you can be reassured that it'll pass. I've never had duloxetine but I know a few others members have. Big hugs
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
