Dear User,
Thanks for using health care magic.

From the available description it appears that you are having withdrawal symptoms due to veniz.
In my view try to decrease dose of veniz about 20 % per week not the half from the first day. You will need six to eight weeks to discontinue it from the current dose.

'Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help".
Thanks
