You have lost big in share market about 7 years back and then developed depressive symptoms. You are taking Zyven OD (Dexvenlafaxine) for major depressive disorder. The symptoms you are having when you miss a dose are due to withdrawal syndrome of desvenlafaxine. The drug is SNRI drug and abrupt stoppage after chronic use may cause withdrawal symptoms like anxiety. dizziness, instability of gait, tremors of arms and shivering on face. The symptoms you are having are due to withdrawal only. Over all drug use is safe.
As per my opinion don't miss a dose, regular therapy is must for treatment. Other drugs like Mirtazapine, Bupropion (as augment drug) can also prove useful because these drugs have relatively long half life and withdrawal is not so severe. Take plenty of water and diets rich in proteins and carbohydrates. Fat intake should be less in diet.
Thanks, hope this helps you.
