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'm looking to find ways to reduce my sexual desires and I'm wondering if there are any medications available for this. Could you provide some guidance on this issue?
It's important to approach concerns about sexual desire with care. Medications like **anti-androgens** or **selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)** may be prescribed in certain cases to help reduce sexual drive, but these should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. I recommend discussing your concerns with a doctor who can provide a personalized treatment plan.
