> > Goofy, thank you for getting back to me. It sounds like this is the best solution from what I have read in these emails. Were you able to function on the job, etc.? How bad were your side effects? Can you share some of your experience of withdrawl with me and include severity of them? I think it will help me stay focused if I know what to expect. I appreciate your input.

> Hi Fish,
> I expected not to be able to function coming off effexor. The side effects I encountered while going off effexor were very mild and I was able to still function. I was a little fuzzy, tired, emotional and I had some achiness and electrical jolts to my body. None of these symptoms were consistant. I would notice them at different times while I was coming off the effexor. I also noticed a positive difference in the way I felt even with these symptoms. Everybody reacts different, but I was able to still function and be productive. Iam now 20 days free and I feel 100% better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck.

>Goofy or anyone else weaning... has anyone experienced weight LOSS while on Effexor XR, but then weight GAIN during the weaning process? I lost about 15 lbs when i went on Effexor, I'm assuming from the affect on my appetite, but since I've begun the weaning process, I've gained about 15 lbs. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks, Jerz
