I've used venlafaxine my whole adult life but have cold turkeyed it many times for a few weeks. The reason being the sexual sides. Coming off there is a lightheaded feeling and a feeling of "unreality," like I'm losing my sanity, a kind of depersonalisation or derealisation. This particular time of year is often extra bad, I get very anhedonic typically. Of course I'm always self medicating with a variety of OTC and under-the-counter supplements and drugs. Like this morning I took bromantane, 9-mbc, DMAA and a bunch of other nutritional supplements. They do help a little. There's probably no cure for this type of weakness, some simply never feel quite right mentally.
bhank calling others junkies is ridiculous. Just weed makes me feel a lot more drugged and impaired than a lot of other more serious drugs. It's all the same, self medicating.
