In reply to How long does withdrawl symptoms last?, posted by cindyd on November 24, 2003, at 12:18:00
Hi cindyd, go see your doc and ask for a few days worth of Prozac (I took it for three days.) It DRASTICALLY reduced the "brain zaps" and dizziness for me. It worked like a charm. I did have an upset tummy due to the Prozac for that brief period but it was much more tolerable.
I also took some Benadryl for the cold/flu-like symptoms. It made me REALLY dozy but at least I was in a space where I was nice and relaxed :)
In terms of how long? Without this handy tip (the first time I quite Effexor) it took three weeks. With this tip--about one week, tops after I started the Prozac. It's a pretty good remedy--give it a shot!
Good luck and take care,
Karen
