In reply to Re: Effexor Withdrawl, posted by Matt on March 28, 1999, at 7:07:16
I've been on effexor for two and a half years (175 mg/day) now. I first notiiced the withdrawl effects when I accidentally skipped a dose. Without knowing what my withdrawl symptoms were caused from I worried that I had some neurological dissorder. Later I found out that Effexor does not stay in the body long at all as does Prozac, in turn, causes withdrawl symptoms when doses are skipped. I don't nkow why but just lately I have started to have the same symptoms even if I haven't missed any doses. Has anyone else experienced this. I am boing to begin to taper off Effexor because I feel the withdrawl is as bad as the depression and I might be getting these symptoms when I haven't missed doses due to the length of time I have been on the drug. If any one has any comments please write.
