> remember this was only YOUR experience
The stuff works great for me and I experience NO withdrawal symptoms. Actually, quite the opposite. The XR keeps me awake at night and the non-XR doesn't. Better yet, lately, when I wake at night or in the morning, I'm always pitching a tent - again the opposite of XR. This has not happened to me before with any other drug, including previous uses of Effexor. The last time I took Effexor, Every Other Day dosing resulted in better mood and energy, not withdrawl. The one difference this time is that I'm taking Adderall with Effexor now. I'm one of the lucky ones according to my pdoc wrt effexor withdrawl and had to insist on the non-XR. I don't think the mfr. lies about it as much as they all do about weight gain and sexual dysfunction. I've not been lucky with some of the other drugs I've have been on:
Wellbutrin and Wellbutrin SR both made me nauseaous and feeling like I had a major flu.
Remeron made me sleepy for 2 days after 1/2 a pill.
Serzone made me sleepy and foggy so that I never did get to a therapeutic dosage.
