In reply to effexor withdrawal and anxiety, posted by joshrud on February 24, 2005, at 16:05:17
> I recently decerased my dose of effexor which I was taking for OCD and anxiety and I have been experiencing mild free floaitng anxiety ever since. Has anyone else experieneced this?
Anxiety can definitely be a symptom of Effexor withdrawal. However, anxiety is also a part of your illness. It might be difficult to tell the difference between withdrawal symptoms and symptoms of a relapse. You might not want to continue lowering the dosage of Effexor until the anxiety resolves. If it is withdrawal, the anxiety should get better. If it gets worse, it might be a relapse.
Just guessing.
