ok switching off of Venlafaxine is not going well. Was on 150mg ER per day for about 3 months, after gradually increasing dose to that point over another 2 months. So 5 months / 20 weeks on it in total. Titrated down by adding Fluoxetine 20mg per day and reducing Venlafaxine to 112.5 mg ER per day for 1 week, then 75 mg ER per day for 1 week, and finally 37.5mg ER per day for 1 week. I took the last dose of 37.5 over the weekend, and have been on only the Fluoxetine ever since.

So my question is, how long is SSRI withdrawal supposed to last? I literally cannot function. I can't work, can't drive, can't even
stand up reliably. I'm in so much pain (physical sensitivity, nausea, and brain zaps) and my brain isn't working right (mood swings, depression, anxiety, confusion, chronic sleepiness, emotional disregulation). Eating is a toss-up whether I can get food down or just feel too sick to swallow.

This has been going on for days and it needs to stop. Boosts appreciated please.

Dr. Healy, a vocal critic of the pharmaceutical industry's influence, exposes how the "serotonin myth" emerged from marketing, reveals how antidepressants (SSRIs) can blunt emotions and cause iatrogenic harm, and discusses the public health crisis of long-term drug use, urging a reevaluation of mental healthcare, especially for children."—Psychology Is

How Antidepressants Actually Work

YouTube

"Did you know that nearly one in five UK adults - and almost one in four women - are currently taking antidepressants? Yet according to my guest this week, the fundamental theory behind these prescriptions may be built on remarkably shaky ground.

Joanna Moncrieff is Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London, consultant psychiatrist for the NHS, and the author of the groundbreaking book, Chemically Imbalanced: The Making and Unmaking of the Serotonin Myth.

In our thought-provoking conversation, Joanna explains how the widely accepted belief that depression is caused by a chemical imbalance or serotonin deficiency has little scientific evidence to support it. This theory, which became popularised in the 1990s through pharmaceutical industry marketing, has fundamentally changed how we view our emotions and mental health."—
