> Getting off Effexor can be difficult, for sure. But one thing some pdocs do to help with the side effects of going off an ad is to have the patient take Prozac 20mg for one or two days. The fact that you're already on Prozac 20mg suggests that the transition from Effexor to Prozac should be easier than it would be otherwise.
Matt-
I am grateful for your input. I am discovering
that taking Prozac on alternate days while continuing
Effexor seems to be more effective. Perhaps the
Effexor had been headed for the dreaded "poop-out"
and a little bit a prozac goes a long way!
