Coming off depression medication

[RiseAbove]

Hello people. I am currently coming off an SNRI (olwexia) I had been taking 300 mg for around 2 months, now the with a doctor's approval I decreased it to 150 mg. I am currently having terrible headbuzz, midday sleepiness and very short visual blackouts as withdrawal effects. Do you have any practical help how to negate these effects as they are debilitating, and also dangerous to my work, since I have to drive to my workplace.

Why don't you ask that to your doctor?

I asked him about the symptoms, but he said he does not know about such stuff. However when I looked it up on the internet, it showed that it is definitely a thing.

Then maybe you should try a different doctor?
