Used paroxetine in the past but it completely numbed all of my emotions. This hasn't happened with venlafaxine. The side effects that bother me (blurred vision, convulsions in my arms and legs) are not (currently) so bad that I think I need to come off this.

So much sweating, all day and all night. Need to leave the house with a towel. My hair gets wet and if I do anything even mildly energetic then the sweating just gets worse.

Because of a burn out/depression I couldn't sleep any more. The GP gave me this. It works well but in the meantime I have increased to 25 mg (started out on half that). Regardless of how well I sleep I'm always incredibly drowsy and tired. But I can't sleep without it. I'm afraid that I can't cope without it any more.

Paroxetine has ensured that the anxieties (social) that ultimately caused my breakdown have got less which means I can work as long as I have CBT as well. Now starting to come off it from 20-15-10-5-0, up to 5 no problems coming off but now definitely. Stopped for nearly 2 weeks but withdrawal symptoms are noticeable: tired, diarrhoea, stomach pain, nervous, irritable almost aggressive.
