Going off of Effexor was h__l for me! I had horrible withdrawal symptoms. They were:
1. nausea
2. headache
3. dizziness
4. mini-explosion feelings in my head
5. tiredness
I am now back on Effexor XR 225 mg (not because of the withdrawal but because I had a relapse) but am hoping to switch to another antidepressant with less side effects and withdrawal symptoms.
