> > hi, i just got off effexor. well, it took me roughly 5 months. but im still having dizziness, headaches,weird dreams, im tired, nauseated and get kinda teary very easily.
> i feel good besides all that(gee, looking at that i think i must be an optomist!! =) ) anybody have any ideas as to how long it might take to be completley free from all of these feelings and did i read somewhere that antihistamines would help? thanks to all in advance that reply to me.WOW! I just realized while reading your post that quitting Effexor (300 mg/day) is probably why I feel crummy! Duh! I KNEW most people had some kind of Effexor withdrawal symptoms, yet I thought that I wasn't having a problem. I had attributed my symptoms (dizziness and nausea) to the flu which is going around my office. I had even considered taking a pregnancy test, since the feelings were similar to morning sickness. I can't believe I missed this!!
I wish I knew how long this lasts...since I am going through it myself, I have no clue. I have read that supplementing temporarily with a small dose of Prozac can help.
