Hi all,
Some may have noticed my disappearance from forums lately - there is a reason for this. Early in the year I had tapered off an eventually stopped taking an SNRI type antidepressant, which much to my displeasure turns out to be one of the hardest possible ones to stop, it boggles the mind how something like this can even be handed out like they are. I had no intention of really being on them in the first place.
The withdrawal effects of the one I was taking ("Venlafaxine") have been particularly horrendous and I still have discontinuation symptoms 6 months after stopping, it feels like my central nervous system has had an absolute battering. They are gradually beginning to fade thank goodness (though I had a bit of a false reprieve a couple of months ago, hopefully they really are going this time)
I have done my best to respond to emails and queries during this time but I may have overlooked the odd thing so if you're reading this and I didn't get back to you or seemed a bit vague, my apologies. I am doing my best to get back into the swing of things!
