[QUOTE="Monkey201, post: 237027, member: 39939"] Wow, Geri, that worries me now. Am also on Venlafaxine after unsuccessfully trying to stop taking Paroxetine (Seroxat) BUT, wait for it, 225g daily, a so-called maintenance dose, for years now. My diabetes has been bad recently, with spiking blood tests that found I also have NAFLD, as well as being immuno-globulin A deficient with antibodies (regular blood transfusions would probably kill me - good job I've not needed any in 40 years!) My 40th year has been tough. Am now on Byetta jabs twice daily plus 2g Metformin yet my levels are still above 8mmols. Neuropathy has started already & it all feels rather bleak. I was fed up with constant sweating, nausea/retching after minimal walking or chores plus constant exhaustion - GP says I have CFS. However, after 3 consultants in different fields all said Venlafaxine could give me these side effects, have started "weaning" off this drug, tho' slowly due to withdrawal worries. Since March 11, have reduced to 2.5 daily (from 3) against GP's advice who's concerned for my depression/anxiety but I want to enjoy life not sleep it away! The constant sweats have ceased & nausea takes longer to kick in plus some days I have more energy. I want to drop lower but am afraid of regressing. I haven't taken my bad health news well plus hubby has a new heart-related problem since summer, had to reapply for my job & take a pay cut, etc. Should I stay on 2.5 or lower the anti-deps? Feel grotty constantly with Byetta & wonder if this would help - any thoughts, folks? [/QUOTE]
