AmyP Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 after i nosedived when they reduced my venlafaxine dose it was put back up. but since then the flat, numb, nothingness has come back. its worse than feeling pain, at least i felt something and had a few highs. so am coming off them again but guna try differently. friend on here has given idea of creating a plan while im still stable in case of crisis and letting gp and bf know what to do. then will talk about what will help when off them. maybe a prn instead and support. am starting dbt again so thats also there. does anyone have any suggestions for what i can do in terms of crisis plan? maybe a good template, and also what support there is etc. ideas to get through and stuff. thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlylight1 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 hi pan, there was an excellent template on here ages ago so i'm wondering if someone may have a copy of it. also have you considered any other type of anti d to replace the venlafaxine? i switched from venlafaxine to sertraline years ago (not on either now so can understand if you want to be as med free as poss) and found i was a lot less knocked out and could still have some highs. but then again i've read it doesn't agree with everyone and can cause insomnia, etc. good luck with the reduction and its great you've got a plan in place xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
