In reply to dizzy from withdrawal from effexor ..help, posted by kelmel on January 19, 2003, at 20:15:46
Effexor withdrawal is horrible -- been there, done that. Sorry you are in the midst of it. However, my pdoc helped me tremendously by prescribing 25 mg. Effexor tablets. That way I was able to taper even more slowly. I took it every day ... 25 mg. for a week, then half a tablet for another week, then a quarter, etc. It really worked for me. (I think I recall having to take half in the a.m. and half in the p.m. because the 25 mg. tablets were not sustained release). Anyway, before that point, I also got stuck at 37.5 mg. The 25 mg. tablets did the trick.
Best of luck to you. You will make it through! Hang in there ...
