kbkSo, how long does venlafaxine withdrawal take? Because I'm now on day four and looking like at least two days more. Maybe I should go to the hospital.
See, last time I checked you had to call in the morning to get an appointment at my doctors, and of course I don't do mornings and of course I kept putting it off but I always thought I'd be able to do it tomorrow and then of course I failed and it's all such bullshit
and of course if I tell parentals - which I probably have to because I'm not doing great, really - they'll ask why I didn't tell them earlier or ask for help because they could have called for an appointment for me or they could have done this that or the other
But that would make sense. Ugh.
OK. Screw all this. I am going to go the chemists and cry at them, I think, because that is what the nhs website says to do. Well, they don't advise the crying part, obviously, but that is the general idea.
Wish me luck.
ETA, twelve-ish: can has drugs! Did not actually cry, which was unexpected. Went to chemist nearby and got told has to be chemist where I have got prescription within last six months so got on bus and went to chemist near doctor and got drugs and then went to shop for food and booze. Also kept dropping things because my hands may or may not actually be shaking - they do not look like they are but they keep feeling like they are which is enough, really. Hopefully I will stop sweating at some point in the near future.
