> My pdoc won't give me a straight answer on this so I'll ask here. Does everyone experience bad withdrawal symptoms regardless of how slowly one tapers off the med? It goes without saying that abrupt withdrawal is going to be nasty, but what about when one does it by the board? IT seems like a lot of the babblers are saying it doesn't matter what you do, you're going to feel awful. What about this particular drug makes withdrawal so horrific?

>Hi Civ,
Effexor causes problems with withdrawl because it has a very short half life. People don't seem to know they can take Prozac to help taper off from Effexor.
