The prozac has made stopping the effexor much more tolerable. If not for the increased heart rate I would have stayed on the effexor since I did not have any other side effects that caused concern. I was totally back to normal while on the drug. The first attempt at stopping effexor was done without the proper weaning (if there is one). I was trying to stop cold turkey from 75mg and by the second night I was sweating, had nausea, headache. I checked my bloodpressure and it was elevated along with my heat rate. Then I took an effexor and it all got back to normal, so I dropped down to 37.5mg for 3 weeks and decided to try again, had a migraine before stopping and that when I was put on the prozac to help. I will post more as each day passes. John
