Hello

I am sorry to read that you are feeling so unwell

Are you doing the withdrawal under the supervision of your Doctor?

For some people coming off Venfalaxine can cause many problems and for others not so, but I have heard and read that coming off Venfalaxine has to be done very gradually and with a Doctors or Psychiatrists advice & guidance. I imagine the other two medications are similar in that respect.

I take Venfalaxine too, and have done so for years.

Did you want to come off them because you were feeling a lot better?

Thinking of you because it cannot be easy to say the least to come off all 3 meds.

Take care.

You will need to discuss withdrawal with your GP or CPN. It takes a lot longer than one week, the drugs will need to be reduced over an extended period of time. To do this everyone is different all depends on dose time and how badly the body suffers drug cravings and contraindications.

Be patient.

I take all those and more, see a doctor, and do it slowly, I had to drop one of mine and dropped 100mg but over 2 months. See a doctor
