Does anybody have any experience with venlafaxine? I’ve tried sertraline and am currently on citalopram. The doctor suggested trying venlafaxine but I have been researching and have seen people who have had horrendous side effects and said the withdrawal is awful. I don’t want to make all this progress and lose it all with a horrible withdrawal period when I eventually decide to come off anti-depressants as I hope to do be on them my whole life.
