Weaning off Effexor NOW!

Posted by MicheleD on January 26, 2003, at 19:48:25

Hi,
I just began the weaning process today. I was taking 300mg. Today I went down to 225mg and I am already feeling the effects. I am so dizzy that I can't see straight. I am also starting to take, as of today, 20mg of celexa.

I was on Prozac, 20mg from 1995 until last year. I had what they call "Prozac Poop-out". So I needed something else. The doc gave me doses of 37.5 up to 300mg. I gained weight and wasn't feeling like I did when I took Prozac so she switched me to celexa. She said Celexa does the exact same thing as Prozac but the effects are quicker.

Anyway, I am so scared of this weaning considering this is my first day and I am already as dizzy as hell. This just sucks! I heard horror stories of weaning here and on other sites. This drug is like a poison!

Thanks for letting me vent.

Michele =)
