In reply to CAME OFF THE EFFEXOR XR WITH NO PROBLEMS...BUT, posted by doodlemail on October 2, 2000, at 9:13:55
Add some headaches and other general malaise symptoms to your crankiness, and you've got the withdrawal I've had from Effexor XR when I've run out in the past...
As for the sleeplessness, I had that for the first few days I took it, but that side effect wore off after a couple of weeks. Also, I haven't had much problem with weight gain, certainly not anything like what I experienced with TCAs and Paxil.
Good luck, I hope it does work for you.
And for sleeping, I'd try an anti-histimine. They do work, that's what's in the OTC sleep drugs, but you may feel groggy the next morning, so take them early!
