Hi, I'm Lexi_R

October 22, 2026

I’ve just recently tapered off Venlafaxine, which I took for over 20 years, and the experience has been much harder than I expected. It is still hard as many of the symptoms (nausea, diarrhoea, wanting to cry constantly) haven’t gone away yet (It’s been about two months since I came off completely). I’m hoping to share my experience and hear about others.
