In reply to Switchng from Effexor XR to Prozac, posted by Jocor on August 1, 2001, at 10:12:04
Hi Jocor,
When I was weaning off of Effexor, I was extremely tired (plus all the other side effects -- so glad you don't have them!), so your tiredness could be a withdrawal symptom. Or, since the Prozac made you tired in the past, it could be the Prozac as well ...Hope all goes well with your next drop in the Effexor dosage ... just a warning that I did fine until the 37.5 mark, then not so hot. I think the Prozac will help you with the withdrawal.
take care,
cindy

Feeling no nausea or dizziness or head rush from withdrawal of Effexor XR (thank goodness). I stay at this level for another week and then decrease Effexor XR by another 75 mg.
