I've been taking venlafaxine for about 5 years and its always worked well for my cataplexy but I've recently started xyrem over the past year and a half and on days I have forgotten to take my venlafaxine my cataplexy is absent until the very evening and I'm wondering if there is any alternatives to venlafaxine as I truly would rather not be on it if its not entirely needed. I don't want to be on it forever because I truly can't remember what it feels to not be on it and wonder if going off would help with the anxiety I've suddenly gotten. I just don't want to be on antidepressants if I don't have to and I'm wondering if anybody has any experience with different medications for cataplexy or going off venlafaxine commpletely.
