Hi Savita....welcome! I'm glad your friend suggested you make an account here. Have you begun your taper yet? I'm sorry to hear about your gut issues and chronic insomnia. When did you start experiencing these things? If you haven't tapered yet you could be experiencing what's called "poop out," which is when the drug stops working and then causes withdrawal symptoms. If you can provide us with a bit more history that would be great! We're happy to help in any way that we can. Catina ❤️

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 18.56 mg
