In reply to I'm going off- please help!, posted by catri on May 7, 2003, at 6:26:43
Hi -
I wish I had had a chance to find a good taper schedule! I wasn't warned about withdrawl and went off cold turkey - miserable experience.
I didn't have a chance to try this either, but I have heard of small amounts of Prozac being used to help withdrawl, because of its very long half-life. Part of what makes Effexor withdrawl so bad is its short half-life.
Go slowly and listen to your body. Hopefully someone here has had an ok experience coming off Effexor and can tell you what they did!
Good luck to you.
> hello, after about six months on 75/day, I want to come off it. I'm seeing the doc tomorrow, and I would really like help in deciding what withdrawal/tapering programme people have found that works best. Please help....
