"I had been taking venlafaxine for over 3 years for bulimia and severe depression. For two of those years, I took 300 mg a day (4 x 75 mg tablets), two in the morning and two in the evening. Just 2 months ago, I decided to stop taking this drug as everything in my life felt fake, and I felt numb to all emotion. I tapered my withdrawal from this drug, and just over 2 months in, I seriously feel angry and crying all the time. The initial withdrawal (first few weeks) was horrendous, but now, 2 months in, I think this stage is just awful. Loved ones and friends don't want to be around me as I get angry at the slightest thing. I just pray I get through this, but it is so hard, and I feel for everyone else out there in the same boat as me."

"Thanks to venlafaxine, my depression got better, and I'm less stressed out about food, portion control, and eating with others in general. Also, my suicidal thoughts have 'disappeared' so far. However, my desire to purge has not stopped. I'm still suffering from bulimia with anorexic tendencies. I also experienced side effects such as dizziness and a lack of emotion."

Venlafaxine "Started off really well. 4 - 5 months down the line, have started to binge now and again, but desire to purge is much less than before, only twice in 3 months."
