I have been taking Effexor XR for about 2 yrs. now, I just found out I'm pregnant. My OB/GYN said to stop taking the Med., but it not familiar with the drug so had no suggestions on how to stop taking w/o having withdrawl. The doc that perscribed the Effexor said take every other day for one week, then go off cold turkey. I know I will still go through withdrawl. I have been skipping days, 2 days, now 3 days and then taking when I feel the withdrawl symptoms flare up. Hoping to get to about 7 days w/o withdrawl then stop taking all together. I'm not sure if this is better, or just go off cold turkey. I'm really scared for my unborn, any suggestions?
