My update

Thanks rose and suzi. Will hopefully get to gp tomorrow or at least a phone appointment and also ask pharmacist about omega 3. I know it's not a failure. I made it to work this morning. Was late because I struggled to get up but at least I made it. Hubby Said I should call in sick tomorrow and get to Dr. One of my colleagues noticed I haven't been looking great past 2 days. I briefly told him I've been trying to reduce my meds. I am not ashamed or embarrassed to tell him. I would rather people understand why I feel like this and when I do I return to work with my boss after being off sick he puts it down as the illness due to mental health disability. They seem very understanding which really helps me.

Venlafaxine is tough but just look how much you've done already! You're doing amazingly. I don't know if they do it anymore but 10 years ago I was taken off venlafaxine (but I eventually returned to it) and the docs gave me an anti anxiety (buspirone) to help. I think what I'm trying to say is, talk to your dr. I'm sure they can give you advice with how to help deal with the withdrawal
