This is a good warning for anyone who forgets to take their venlafaxine and seroquel for, or for those who decide to stop it cold turkey against medical advice!!!

Due to my grandas ill health for the past week or so i'd been away from home and completely forgotten to take my meds since monday. I'd felt fine until a few hours ago probably because i've been so distracted and busy, a reallly bad headache started (still have it now), I feel dizzy, sick and disorientated. At first I didn't know what was causing it, maybe the stress of the past week but I got home and saw the tablet boxesin my room then realised what it was, I just took todays dose. 

The weirdest thing though is the feeling in my head, it's like pop rocks (if anyone knows what i'm talking about) 'exploding candy' popping about in my brain, it's not painful and not like the headache, just a disturbing feeling.

I didn't think anti-depressant medication could cause symptoms like this after only 2/3 days without it, i'm writing this now whilei'm feeling it so other people taking these or similar medications don't make this mistake! Now i'm dreading what it's going to be like when I finally stop taking them. It has taken me almost 45 minutes to write this, my hands are shaking and ive had tocheck the spelling a few times. I'm going to lie down for a while now.
