In reply to switching from effexor to cymbalta, posted by logansgirl on January 30, 2007, at 15:14:30
> <Hi Everyone,
> I'm new here but have gained so much confidence just by reading your threads. Am going from Effexor 150mg to 75mg for a week to 10 days. This is day 2 and I started 30mg of cymbalta 1 per day for a week then no effexor(if all is well, doc says maybe 10 days) and 60 mg of cymbalta 1 per day. So far just my normal reaction to even an hour late of taking my effexor, a whoshing feeling in head. Hope the withdrawal won't be bad. Any encouraging words or hints would be greatly appreciated.>
> The previous post was from last week on another thread. Today I am on my second day of 60 mg Cymbalta and no effexor. So far no problems, in fact a friend said yesterday I was much less irritable when we went out to eat. I personally do not feel much difference but am thankful not to have any withdrawals. I do miss the vivid dreams I would awaken with while on effexor.I think it's wonderful that your not experiencing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor XR. It's like a whirlwind for me. Last week I had a hypomanic experience and immediately my pdoc discontinued the effexor all at once. OMG!! Someone call the psych ward for me...lol Every withdrawal symptom someone can have, I've got it. Nauseau, vomitting, head swings, irritability, rage,dizziness, agressiveness etc. Simply awful.
