In reply to Effexor withdrawals and Lexapro, posted by nmk on September 26, 2002, at 13:21:27
nmk,
I am going in the opposite direction, just started Effexor xr 2 weeks ago and I am up to 75mgs. Question- Did you have side effects when you started or while you were on effexor or just when you started to taper off? thanks for the feedback!!!
> I am down to that horrid last 37.5 mg of Effexor and hope to be off soon. I am going through the worst of the withdrawal effects now (severe insomnia, nausea, anxiety, etc). I have read in earlier posts that Prozac can help ease the withdrawal process but I am wondering if Lexapro have the same effect? My doc just increased my dosage of Lexapro to 20 mg because of the withdrawal effects and am wondering if this will provide the same amount of relief that the prozac would.
