In reply to Cold Turkey, what withdrawal symtoms to expect., posted by Sandi on February 1, 2001, at 8:53:50
> I have been on Effexor XR for 1.5 months at 75 mg. Prior to that Prozac, Wellbutrin, and Celexa for 2 years. I do not feel better and can not handle the side effects of Effexor. I have stopped taking as of 2 days ago. I do not want to take another dose. I am tired still and have a headache and am a little sick to my stomach. As long as I am laying down I don't feel dizzy. Since I have been on Effexor for a short time, does anyone think my withdrawal will be that bad?
> I am worried. Thank you.Hello,
Effexor is one of the ones you must wean. I was on Effexor for two weeks and went cold turkey. I was the worst withdrawl I have ever expierenced. I felt like my body was being twisted into a thousand painful pieces. I also felt like I was hallucinating! I took about 2 days to overcome. Just be careful and take it slow. My therapist apoligized because she didn't think such a short time on the med would cause such a withdraw.
