Venlafaxine - Very Good Experience

I stopped taking Duloxetine one week ago and the side effects were dreadful, I felt almost suicidal. If I turned my eyes in either direction I could have up to 11 or 12 'head zaps' that travelled through my whole body. Horrific.

After only two days on Venlafaxine I'm feeling calm, which is a huge change. No more 'zaps' no more night sweats where I was virtually soaking, no more crying, no more wanting to die. I'm calm, sleeping and happy.

I feel like me again :>
