In reply to Ack!! Any help for Effexor withdrawl???, posted by h.e. on June 11, 2003, at 10:41:30
I feel for you, I really do. A couple of weeks ago, I accidently forgot to take one dose, ONE dose! I was like you, sicker than a dog. I had a migraine for 3 1/2 days, sick and throwing up, it was awful! I decided right then that I was getting off the effexor, so I got the Dr. to give me the start up pack and I took it beginning with the 75 mgs for a week then the 37.5 mgs for a week until they were gone. Praise God I am now off that horrible medication. I am back on Lexapro and feeling so much better. I am NOT trying to influence you on what to do, just telling what happened to me. You should talk to your Dr. Good luck to you! As far as what you can do to feel better right away, I wish I could tell you something. I was sick for days. Try sipping some ginger ale and just try to lay down and rest. Good luck!
