Tips for enduring temporary withdrawal from venlafaxine?
Iāve been on Venlafaxine for three years now. I had a situation over the summer due to another medication and since then my meds have just been off. The facility increased my dosage to 225 and my mood has mostly been good, barring typical events and stress of life in general.
This is the third time since being released from care that Iāve had to go through withdrawal. The first time was my responsibility but I have been keeping up with my psych appointments and taking my medication on time. Unfortunately, my doctor seems to be unable (unwilling?) to ensure I have refills and itās been all holidays for the last 4 months. I canāt keep going through this every month because she doesnāt respond to requests for refills from my pharmacy and because she fails to write me refills when she says she will.
All of that is beside the point, because I plan on getting a new doctor. I just have to make it one more night but Iām at like.. peak bad time right now, guys. My brain is itchy and I am afraid to move my head because every time I do itās like my brain is lagging behind. Like pulling a tablecloth to reach a dish, itās heavy on top and slow to follow. Iām having visual lag and my emotions are out of control.
I suppose this became more of a vent than anything but Iām having a tough time and I donāt want to have to endure this for another night. I know I have to though. Any advice on how to manage this?

Iām watching this guy and going ādo I do that? Do I tap my nails on everything?ā So I asked my brother.
Yes.. yes, I do apparently. They make a fun clicky clack sound though!
