My "discontinuation syndrome" was coming off desvenlafaxine. My access to it was suddenly taken away so I had no choice but to sit through the brain zaps for probably a week or two. You can't be sure how long it's going to last and that shit is as unpleasant as it gets.
- bluedevil2k 11y agoThis is why you need to taper off the drugs over 4 weeks. If it takes 4 weeks to start working, it makes sense it should take your brain the same amount of time to work properly without them.
- DanBC 11y agoComing off venlafaxine is considerably more unpleasant than going on venlafaxine, even with correct titration up and down.

- steve-howard 11y agoIf I had had the choice I would have tapered, but I had an adverse reaction to it and it wasn't handled very well.
