getting off effexor & infergen

Help... Does anyone know about stopping the anitdepressant while also
stopping infergen? During the day I just cry about all the **** I'm going
through. My 17 yr old and his pregant girlfriend (supposedly) I am just depressed or
I don't know maybe this is the side effects? I was taking 37mg. If any suggestions
please post.

Why are you stopping any of it honda?  Why the infergen? instead of stopping the effexor, maybe you need to increase it.? I am on 75 time released effoxor.  

If I remember, you were having good results with the infergen?

You are on a really low dose, but I would not stop them both together.    I would talk to Doc,   if it is family drama try remembering yourself. Kids make their own choices right or wrong, all you can do is love them

I'm no expert here ... wondering why you're stopping the AD at the same time as you're stopping the infergen.  Maybe you want to do this one at a time.  Just because you're done the infergen doesn't mean you don't need AD's for a little while longer.  Stopping treatment brings a whole other range of emotional treatment from reading various people's experiences.  Talk to your doc about this and how to stop slowly  when you're ready to stop.

Good luck.

Don't go off Effexxor cold turkey. Get with your DR who prescribed it and he should know the protocol.
