> I'm 10 weeks pregant and I am still trying to get off effexor. I am down to 10 grains twice a day and I am so dizzy and nasuaus. I already have morning sickness so this makes it worse. Will augmenting with Celexa help, I have some samples.
i'm so sorry, i understand your suffering. it took me along time to get off effexor. the way i did it was that as soon as i was uncomfortable ie had any withdrawal, i upped the dose a bit till the withdrawal went away. this avoided the suffering. then i re reduced the drug, more slowly this time. i totally avoided any withdrawal. the one difference for u is that u are pregnant-is there any time restriction. i mean do u have to be off it in a hurry?
also i tried the method of tiding over with prozac and another time with imipramine- neither helped.
i hope u come off in due time and if ther is no time restriction on withdrawal i feel it is best to allow your boy to adjust to lower doses slowly. why add to your suffering. just my experience, hope it helps
good luck, and congrats on the baby
