In reply to withdrawal sideeffects from effexor, posted by terry lisman on November 17, 2000, at 7:12:47
Is your doctor a psychiatrist?? I hope not!!
You should never stop an AD cold turkey.I am glad that you managed through it though. Don't ever let another doctor tell you that!
Good luck.

topped me cold turkey . I seemed to have every thing wrong with me. I had know idea that it was the side effects of effexor. I just thought it was a reaction to other medication I was taking . Went to hospital E.R. thinking it was a allergic reaction and was treated as so. Then the symptoms got worse, my heart rate kept jumping up & down. I was scared !!!! I still don't know all the side effects and withdrawal signs. But called my Dr. and told him I thought it was from stopping COLD TURKEY. He then put me back on it in order to taper me off . Just the one dose already has helped.
