Hello I was wondering if anyone else relates or goes through the same thing I do. I take 375mg of Effexor in the morning everyday. If I miss a dose, which happens because I easily forget if I've taken my meds or not, I revert back to before I was on Effexor. I've been on it for years. And it does wonders keeping my past trauma at bay and handling my anxiety so im not having a literal heart attack all the time. My anxiety is constant, and the Effexor has been a miracle for me as I don't feel it nearly as strong as before.

The other day I forgot to take my meds and I remembered at 3am. It was too close to the time for my next dose so I figured I'd wait. I had wondered why I was crying all day at everything, why I could feel my heart going hard all night, like something bad was going to happen, feeling like I was gonna throw up, and sick. Does anyone else feel this withdrawal specially with Effexor?

This had just reminded how much I am dependent on it. And I don't want to be but honestly I'm scared to be off of it.
