Hellllllllo....
I have been taking 150 mg of effexor xr. To be honest, these posts have scared me so much. This is my first AD and looks like I was prescribed the potential for some really bad stuff. My doctor who I saw yesterday said that there are no withdrawal symtoms like that... and won't prescribe me lower doses until i take it longer. I have taken it 6 weeks, and feel no reason to take it any longer. It just hasn't seem to do me any good. I have some prozac on hand.... what do you think? Could I stop this 150 cold turkey and immediately take prozac? My doctor just won't listen... and I want to get off this fast..... seeing as how I'm out of work for a couple of weeks... would be the perfect time. Any help?
