In reply to Effexor or what??, posted by Poppi on October 19, 2003, at 0:13:51
hello poppi
I can answere only one of your questions.
**Do not** i repeat **do not** stop effexor abruptly as it says on manufucturer's leaflet. Take as long as you cud (you and your doc can decided this) to taper it down. I ended up stopping 3days and went thru withdrawal as if I was a junky (as non junky person can imagine)on some movie segment, locked up in a place for detox.
If you received prescription from your Doc other than Psychiatris, S/He may not be familiar with severe, but notorious withdraw symptoms.
I wonder if it is working for you and 150 mg dose not sound a lot...why wud you want to stop?
