Anti Depression Effexor Withdrawal Symptoms

by Rina1964, Feb 09, 2009 07:36AM

Has anyone experienced withdrawal symptoms from Effexor 75mg? I went cold turkey and now it's my 6th day and still feeling strange. I'm having a hard time fighting it. Any solutions besides going on anti depression pills?

You really should'nt quit effexor cold turkey. The best thing is to taper off of it. Does your Dr. know you've quit cold turkey? He/she can help you with a taper program. Take care. Remar

If you stop on a dime with this drug, you are going to feel absolutely miserable. You must let your doc know immediately! Why are you stopping the med?
