Hi @SilverOrchard, I'm sorry to hear you're struggling right now. I'm glad that you have decided to hold your dose until things stabilize a bit more. Give yourself some more time. I know it's hard to be patient, but you're doing the right thing and giving your body time to heal. Holding is actually a very important part of the tapering process. Withdrawal places extra stress on our bodies, so things like hormones and cycles can feel worse.
If you go to the Symptoms and Self-Care section of the forum and click on the Guides tab, you'll find lots of helpful information and tips on how to handle withdrawal symptoms and regulate our nervous system. I hope you find something that helps you cope until you begin to feel better.
Hang in there! ❤️
Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 16.64 mg
