i mean… no shit?

could you give more details (if it’s not a problem to you ofc)

i wish i was warned like that

it frustrates me so much. the doctor that introduced me to venlafaxin never warned me about the withdrawal symptoms, even though i showed concerns about that, and the current doctor never warned me that they would linger for so long

its hard to explain, but it’s this weird and really unpleasant “zapping” feeling in the head, which feels a bit like your brain is going static for a split second. sometimes i get 4, 5 “zaps” one after the other. it fucking sucks and it makes it really hard to do anything that takes even a little bit of mental effort

to make it clear, ive been taking bupropion for about two months now. what happened five days ago was increasing the dosage from 150mg to 300mg and taking off the venlafaxin, which had already been reduced to 37,5mg from 75mg last month

according to the leaflet, although it’s rare, having seizures is one of the known side-effects

my venlafaxin dose was originally 75mg, so he planned to reduce it to 37,5mg for a month then take if off completely. reducing to 37,5 was fine so i thought taking it off would be too ig

fwiw not feeling that annoying ritalin anxiety anymore last month did indeed feel pretty good. your comment gave me a little bit of hope, so ty

i knew venlafaxin withdrawals were nasty, but i didn’t know they could last so long. i thought id be fine after 2-3 days
