In reply to Effexor Withdrawal and Herbal Supplements????, posted by scs3371 on July 2, 2004, at 10:47:40
I personally would not recomend taking SJW while there is effexor in your system. It has a high probability of causing serotonin snydrome.
How much effexor are you currently taking ??
You may want to talk to your docotor about the prozac trick.
Prozac has a very long half-life. One pill can stay in your system almost 2 weeks. Prozac is much easier to withdrawl from because it leaves your system so slowly, not with a jolt like effexor. If you swich to say 10-20 mg of prozac, you can take that for a week or more, then discontinue it much easier.
Then at this point I would say it is safer to add herbals if your mood drops.
