I am on a lower dose than used to be for 2 weeks, then on to new tablets.
Started the lower dose on Monday, am on venaflaxine was on 75mg capsual at night and a 37.5mg tablet in morning, now on 37.5mg at night.
Any advice is welcome.

Withdrawl is horrid! Sometimes you wonder why you went on the tabs in the first place as the withdrawl can seem worse than the reasons you went on them eh?! DO you get the "brain zaps" (the only way I can dewcribe them?!) . I am now off the anti-d's and I had withdrawl effects for around 2 weeks very strong and now (3 weeks) only now and then. There's no real way of helping yourself as far as I can see, just got to roll with it and try to rest when you can. Drink plenty of water - helps the headaches a little and flushes it all out. Apparently the drugs are out of your blood within a few days but can takes days/weeks (dpeending how long you've been on them) to get out of your organs and muscle cells etc etc

There are boards/forums on the internet about anti-d withdrawal and the symptoms etc - might be worth a look just to reassure you? You'll find them on Google search for e.g.
