Life without anti D's

[foxlover47]

I am just wondering if anyone else is in a similar position to me and can advise x
I came off a high dose of venaflaxine (225mg + 150mg )
Since I have I found I'm drained , motivation is rock bottom and I don't want to do much.
I have to force myself to literally go out , do simple housework like changing the bed and feel like I'm
Living in a perm ant state of procrastination.
Is this normal ? I feel so flat it's making me
So
Miserable , I'm never happy or looking forward to anything , I have insomnia so maybe sleep a 2 hours straight at most , I fake everything and really force myself to
Do things , I'm a parent so have to
Do things but make it appear I'm good and happy
Just feel in a fuzz

Why did you stop taking them? Did taper them down to withdraw?

It took me about 3 months to withdraw from a high dose of venlafaxine- it was brutal tbh.

@FirstAidKitNowPlease
Oh I can imagine :( are you feeling ok now? Did you get the dizziness bad I was constantly dizzy.
I felt like I was a failure taking them as I had been on them for so long and got it into my
Head that I was tired etc because of being on them , people who knew I was on them were constantly telling me tablets were had they didn't agree etc and I suppose I took their points on board a bit too much , but I'd been on and off anti da for almost 26 years so felt they were right and I was failing
I didn't I just stopped the high dose then took one a day of the lower for a week then stopped
The withdrawal wasn't nice
