It took me almost a DECADE to get off Venlafaxine. I felt like an addict. It was terrible.

Interesting comments. I weaned off lexapro fairly quick compared to these comments. I went from 20 to 10 to 5 then off. I did a month at each dose. I was on 20 for probably 6 months before I decided it wasn’t worth the side effects I was having.

how long will you need to taper it? I tapered off venlaflaxine over 12 months, thought it was usually ranked the hardest anti depressant to get off of.

There is NO honor or pride in stopping cold turkey!! OP I get what you're saying completely 🥺 but anyone else who is "bragging" about quitting cold turkey is literally putting peoples' lives at stake. Please please don't ever try that.

I tapered off lexapro over 2-3 months and I still was throwing up, debilitating dizziness, a psychotic mess when I came off completely

So glad those days are over for me. 2 and a half years of being free of medications - learning how to cope. Some days are still really hard but I often stop and catch myself and I’m like wow - I am so proud of how far I’ve came

Talk to your dr about switching to prozac and then tapering off. You take both for a bit and then it’s much easier to come off
