Venlafaxine (Venlablue) killer withdrawal side affects

I was started on Venlablue XL 75mg in December 2015 by my GP who after a few months increased my dose as it was not doing too many wonders for me. I have been on 150mg of this since well until recently a few weeks ago when i was also put on Gabpentin by my Rheumatologist, starting at 100mg a night and increasing this to 300mg for fibromyalgia symptoms, my pain and sleep which are a big issue for me. So after being on this 2 weeks i just was not able to function very well and my symptoms worsened so i decided to just come off everything and just stick to my Rivaroxaban Xarelto 20mg once a day and Tramadol and Coedine for pain relief which just was not negotiable. I believe as i was not on Gabapentin for too long this did not really attribute to any of my withdrawal affects as apposed to the Venlablue which i was on for 8 months straight. The first 2 days felt normal but as soon as i got to day 3 i was unable to control my emotions i was angry and upset so i cried which honestly helped a little and not forgetting to mention 8 months straight while on the Venlablue i did not cry once, yes i was angry and upset but also quite dead inside. So i decided to take just one 75mg capsule which was half of my usual dose so that i could stay sane enough to function. I again missed 2 days and took one on the 3rd day along this while i was down but i was feeling again i did have brain zaps and felt just awkward. I also suffered severe nausea and the only very thing that helped was prochlorperazine 3mg buccal tablets which you place under your lip on your gum and it just dissolves away. These were left overs from another time as i did not bother getting an appointment and seeing my GP because it is a damn hassle getting a suitable appointment with a GP you regularly see hence i took matters in to my own hands. I feel i am a strong woman and well i can just deal with these many withdrawal affects though i would totally not recommend this to anyone as it can be very difficult and suicide tendencies are  a big withdrawal affect.so it has been over 2 weeks and i am feeling much better and more normal and just want to colour all day, weird i know. All i can say is this medication does not actually work or it works for a little while and then just becomes something your body is addicted to. I personally would not recommend this and by far had been the worst medication to come off. Im fighting along and have some really horrible days but the one day in all those horrible days keeps me going and looking forward to that good day.
