I'm moving from Venlafaxine to Sertraline, and my GP initially told me to take a dose of current medication every other day 'because of the long half life' until I said 'Errr, doesn't it have an incredibly short half life?' so she then moved me down from 150mg to 75mg for 4 days, then straight onto Sertraline.
I've been on Venlafaxine around 15 years, and I'm just not sure this is the right thing to do. I took my third 75mg dose today and felt very zappy and spinny, I'm nervous to drive or go to the shops or even the school run to be honest. Am I going to absolutely hit the wall when I stop taking it altogether on Tuesday?
