Does increasing another antidepressant help with withdrawal from eflexor ?

Hi All

Still suffering physical symptoms in the morning feel like I am just barely existing, have increased my dolsulipin to 75 mg's the last 11 days and wondering will this help with the withdrawals and if so when will it kick in. This is a living nightmare I just keep hoping and praying it won't last thats what I keep telling myself. All the Dr wants to do is put me back on the stuff but I am terrified and after 17 weeks of not being on it doesn't know wether it would do any good and then the addictions started all over again no thanks !!!!
Many Thanks
Love Lorraine x

Thanks.
As I am suffering so much would it be worth while switching frightened I will then get withdrawals from dolsulipin.
How long do withdrawals last ?
Thanks

Since it haves SNRI proprieties yes it can help but it is way less potent than Effexor and it's chemical structure is very different. The closest relative to Effexor is tramadol. I know Tramadol already been used for Effexor withdrawal due to their similarities. Tramadol possesses weak agonist actions at the μ-opioid receptor, releases serotonin, and inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine.
