I just started taking Venlafaxine the other day and I'm noticing that my chest is getting more numb and tight every day. It's even giving me a bit of pain and makes it hard to breathe sometimes. I've heard I shouldn't just stop taking it because of withdrawal issues. Are these symptoms something that usually happens, or is something wrong? And if I decide to stop it soon since I just started, would I still go through withdrawals?

I've been struggling with a masturbation addiction, and it's really taken a toll on my life. I find it so hard to resist the urge. Can you give me some advice on how to manually stop this habit and keep myself away from it?

It's important to understand that overcoming this habit requires patience and self-compassion. Try setting clear goals, staying busy with hobbies, and practicing mindfulness techniques. If it feels overwhelming, seeking support from a therapist can also help you address underlying triggers and build healthier coping strategies.
