ive been on effexer xr for two years and i ran out of meds on fri and i cant get a refill till the 14th when i see the doc so how long do u go through withdrawl
If you have been taking it for than 6 months, then odds are that a cold turkey stop like that will produce withdrawl symptoms for at least a couple months. Maybe a bit less, maybe a bit more. Some people tell of withdrawl symptoms lasting as long as 4 months after discontinuation.
Many years ago when I was taking EffexorEffexor Effexor xr, I also ran out and figured, "no big deal I will get more in a few weeks when I see my doctor." WOW! was that ever a mistake! After about one week cold turkey, I swear my brain felt like a can of smashedSmashed fingers meat.
I ended up calling my docs office and he called me in a script. I suggest you do the same.
