cold turkey
I am on my 5th day cold turkey getting off effexor 75mg after 8 years...Before did this i consulted my dr and told her the method which i was choosing to get off..she was in full support been on them 10 years.Some of the stories on here are so similar..And hope too.
Thankyou so kindly for taking the time to reply..I will hang in there i have only just started experiencing the nausea..Day31
Coming off of Effexor can be a very hard ride for most people. The brain zaps, nausea and loss of apatite are the worst. I tapered, with the help of my Dr, and it was 2 months before I completely got over the brain zaps and nausea. Hang in there because it does get better. I'm really glad to hear you're able to eat solid foods now.
day 30.. head zaps bearable but anxiety attacks severe.. Valium helps..
Eating 2 solid meals a day Just a link i thought i'd share

day 27..coping good today so far..have insomnia now..Talk about a ride!!!
One good thing to come out of today was Psych can see me in 3 weeks now.
Head zaps are the part of this journey which i find,hard because they dont seem to dissipate
