In reply to New Here-**HELP** Withdrawl from 450mg of Efexxor, posted by bubblehead on September 4, 2004, at 10:50:33
Well, I won't kid you. You're in for a rough ride. I came off from 450 and it was not pleasant. One thing I did that I would NOT recommend: cutting back too quickly. My PDoc had me completely off within 2 weeks and, for me, that was way too fast. For at least a week, I had a vice-like grip on my skull and I've never really had any problem with headaches. The non-asperin pain reliever offered a little bit of help. I've heard that small doses of Prozac help a lot during the withdrawal but my PDoc never prescribed this, so I can't say from personal experience. Perhaps Zoloft works in much the same way, but I've primarily have heard about Prozac offering the most help with withdrawal. Good luck. It will pass.
