> I just stopped taking 150mg of Effexor XR yesterday and I am feeling horrible.... headache, nausea, dizziness... NO concentration... Psychosomatic or real? I really want to get off the drug and my doc said it was okay....

> Anyone else had this problem?Hello, I have been taking Effexor for a few months and
have had good depression control. However, I do want to
quit it, because I just hate being on "drugs". A technique
I have come up with that works is I open up the capsules
and take out a few of the little balls every week. It's
tedious, but it really works. I promise that if you
take it really slowly, you won't feel any withdrawal
symptoms. Best of luck, Amelia.
