In reply to Do you crave SMOKING on EFFEXOR?, posted by zoobie on August 17, 2003, at 23:09:27
zoobie!!!! omigosh!! I can't believe I'm reading this!!! YES!! When I came off EffexorXR this summer, my cravings for cigarettes went to zilch! They tasted horrible-and the weird thing is--I started smoking when I first started taking EffexorXR. Go figure.......
Happy to talk to you more about it if you want.
Take care

> Interesting thing is I've been coming off EffexorXR for the past week and I noticed that I've LOST my CRAVINGS for cigarettes. I don't know if it's because of these crazy withdrawal symptoms I'm having or what.
