I've just posted a message on another thread about venlafaxine but wanted to ask if anyone has any experiences of coming off it. I have heard that some people have some nasty withdrawal symptoms. I saw my psychiatrist today and talked about coming off this drug as my husband and I want to try for another baby later this year. I have already dropped from 300mg to 225mg without any problems and am now going to reduce the dosage further by 75mg per month. Any thoughts/advice would be great x

Hi Corrine

I have not been on Venlafaxine myself, but I do know as will all meds in this class, as long as you do it gradually and under the supervision of your GP/Psychiatrist etc.. you should be ok. Its when you take a massive drop in dose very quickly or go cold turkey that the symptoms can be very unpleasent..

Sounds like it is going ok for you so far? Let us know how you get on??

Take Care
