I have been taking venlafaxine for about 4 years at a dose of 150mg every morning. I have not missed a dose in months, but I am experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms despite taking the medication regularly. I have no recent changes in dosage, no lifestyle changes, and no other medical issues except for slight weight gain. I am also taking synthroid for hypothyroidism and have been diagnosed with PTSD and TBI. What could be causing these withdrawal symptoms?

I am a 67-year-old male in generally good health. After taking a daytime nap in a recliner, I experience difficulty passing urine with a very weak stream for 95% of the void. This returns to normal after about 5 minutes. This has happened three times in the last month, always after napping in the recliner in the early afternoon. My prostate was checked as normal in March 2014, and I have slightly elevated triglycerides. I have hypothyroidism and take Levothyroxine, and I also take Certirizine Hydrochloride and Pseudoephedrine for allergies. What is the likely cause of this urine flow problem?
