In reply to Effexor withdrawal, posted by beatrix on July 4, 2003, at 11:29:54
I had a terrible withdrawl experience with Effexor. I wasn't warned about tapering, and I just stopped it cold turkey.
I've heard of using low doses of Prozac to help with Effexor withdrawl - because of the long half-life (of Prozac). And as you noted, you didn't have problems coming off of it. Might be worth looking into.
Very interesting that your husband sees Effexor withdrawl in the ER every few weeks. I wish after all these years there would be greater knowledge about withdrawl :(
I hope you're able to find something that helps you get through this. Good luck.
