> decrease very slowly and substitute an SSRI medication (or anything that will increase serotonin) at some point before you go off of the Effexor. Prozac is the best drug for this because it's long acting. You'd probably only need one or two days of taking 10 mg. of Prozac.I totally agree with this method as the best one. I have the same exact experience.
It is exactly like when you switch from a shot-acting Xanax to long acting Valium.I'm sure there is a cross-tolerance between serotonergic medications (SSRIs,Efexor,Cymbalta,Anafranil & Tofranil).
