2 interesting, for me, items from this 1996 (!!!!) report:
1. "Abrupt discontinuation of venlafaxine is not recommended due to its structural similarity to phencyclidine (PCP). If therapy with venlafaxine is > 1 week the dose should be tapered over 7-10 day to prevent a withdrawal syndrome (headache, nausea, dizziness, insomnia and nervousness)."
and
2. adding prozac will increase the effexor efficacy thus minimizing the amount of effexor needed to be taken.
on this latter point, does anyone have any formula and/or success in doing so?
