Been three weeks off antidepressants, and feel better than ever-

[oopsadaisyme]

Two years on venlafaxine (after a miscarriage, and no other support), and feel like I've just woken up from a haze -

I'm going through a break up, and some rough stuff, but I feel being on these tablets have done me more harm than good, I've put up with and ignored alot of hurt, now, seeing through clearer eyes, no way should I have -

I am now disgusted I've been dependant on these tablets, with no good reason or support, support being the operative word -

Just a word of warning. It can take 2-3 weeks to 'come down' after being on AD. Just take care of yourself

Venlaxafine had the same effect on me. Just be very aware of your moods and how you feel so that you can seek help if the depression comes back. Talk therapy can help a lot and there are also many other anti-d's you can try if you have to take meds.
