I have recently tapered off of EffexorEffexor Effexor xr xr. I was on 75mg and went down to 37.5mg. It has been four days of no medication. I have been dizzy, nauseous and cryingColic and crying Crying in infancy all of the time. How long will this last? Please help?
What made you want to stop the EffexorEffexor Effexor xr?
I have been on my 75mg for two years now and ever time my husband asks me."so when do you think youll stop needing it" I reply when they pry it out of my dead handsHand or foot spasms Hand tremor...joke of course but he really upsets me when he asks me that?
I have never felt better. I do not like the side effects i get when i skip..
I am afraid to go off. I just wonder why you stoped.
It's funny that you mentioned tapering off. I've been taking 150mg for 3 years and I had no idea of any side effects from stopping. One day I just got tired of taking 2 capsules and my prescription ran out, so instead of refilling it I just stopped taking them on a Friday. Saturday got sick and dizzy, Sunday I could barely walk to the bathroom and I felt like I was drunk. All I did was sleep! So Sunday night my daughter said mom I'm taking you to the hospital. They just said I must have an inner earEar barotrauma Ear discharge Ear emergencies Ear examination Ear tube insertion Ear tube insertion - series infection. I told them what pills I take and mentioned I just stopped taking my effexorEffexor Effexor xr. So Monday I called my doctor and when he heard I went cold turkey ( I had to put that in there since Thanksgiving is coming) he said you can't just stop taking them. So I called in my refill and within 2 hours I started feeling a little better. Those pills aren't working for me. I still wish each night I won't wake up in the morning and I still don't want to leave the house. I'm now down to 75mg and I can't wait to stop taking them. I have FMS and I hate my life!

Drop it one day out of ten. Then two days out of ten etc.. It will be smoother. Well that worked for me I got off it.
