I feel as if my head is being left behind when moving especially when turning my head left to right or vice versa. I have also noticed increased aggression lack of patience and anxiety.

Sounds like you have come off the 75 dose to quickly. Did you drop to 37.5 one day then 75 for a while and then 37.5 daily for a while before dropping to 37.5 evry other day and is this under Drs supervision?

Hi I was on 75 for a good while then was advised by GP to go on 37.5 every other day until packet finished then I would be off them as I felt I am in a much better place i requested to withdraw from medication but meds have finished and 3 days later and my head is still spinning. Thanks for replying Jo ??

Hi, I was on 150mg for quite a few years and it took me several months to come off Venlafaxine. I would take it more slowly. The withdrawals can be horrible otherwise. I tried to do it more quickly and just hated those symptoms. I did it eventually with almost no withdrawal symptoms so persevere even though I expect you just want to get off the pills asap. Good luck.

Go back to your Dr this was far to quick a cut off. Should have been done like I asked about,
