Feeling very bad. Been having bouts of nausea, headache, anxiety, crying spells, gi upset, muscle aches, flu-like symptoms, and sweating. Been holding at 14.275 for over a week after starting a new bottle of liquid Zoloft and crashing following a very careful daily microtaper.

Thank you Laura- unfortunately I had a bad night too.

Yes I do. I’ve also met with Dr. Horowitz regarding my taper plan.

If you don’t mind me asking, is it a doctor associated with this community? Or one that is well versed in tapering Venlafaxine? I only ask because I am having trouble finding a doctor, and I am at a critical point in my taper that requires a doctor’s guidance. I was doing so well on my own bead counting, but when I got down to 9 beads, I was unable to continue hyperbolic tapering. 😔
What does your doctor say about your severe symptoms? Did you just reduce your dose recently? I’m sorry for all the questions. I just feel all alone with no support. I found this site and feel so hopeful.
My dad is a neurologist and is the one that prescribes for me but really doesn’t know much about withdrawal. I’ve really relied on Dr. Horowitz’ guidance. I had a previous psychiatrist but he kept trying to poly drug me which only made me worse so I stopped working with him.

So Dr. Horowitz only provides tapering recommendations but is not a provider. He wrote the Maudsley Deprescribing book. Here is the link to his appointments
