In reply to Re: What ARE the effexor withdrawel symptoms???, posted by blackjack on March 7, 2001, at 17:56:34
I am now off effexor xr for over 4 weeks. It took me all of 3 weeks to start feeling like myself again. I had all the same symptoms you had. I actually went to the Doctor and had so many test run that they found I had developed a virus that has mono like symptoms. I think that virus and the withdrawal effects from the effexor has run my system down so far it is all I can do to get out of bed everyday. I will never take that medication again. I would rather suffer with the depression than have the feelings I had going off of the drug. It is dangerous in my opinion and my Doctor agrees and has quit prescribing it. I hope you feel better soon. I know you will because I do. The dizziness has stopped and I can think straight now.
Good Luck
