Hi, I'm Healing_s

September 2, 2026··
Hi, I’m healing_s, I was cold turkey from venlafaxine 37,5mg and sedoxil 1 mg in April this year after 7 years of use. After that by medical advise I introduced tryptophan for almost 2 months and half which was worsening my DP/DR. After some combination with two more stress control supplements I stopped both supplements, everything went spiral. With acute withdrawal, one week without sleep, intrusive thoughts, internal vibration, add to change all my diet, swollen head feeling. Cognitive difficulties.
