In reply to Re: Effexor - how long is the withdrawal period?, posted by Kathyba on January 22, 2005, at 8:05:06
I just got off Effexor & have been off it for about 8 days. Even though I weaned off it over a two week period I went through a nasty withdrawal and didn't even realize at first what was happening. I had the brainzaps, confusion, headaches and nausea big time. Dramamine helped a lot with the nausea but not with the other stuff. I just had to suffer through it but it would have been easier if I'd known what was happening to me. I haven't replaced it with anything else yet even though the depression has returned because I am frightened to death to try another drug. Effexor was just one in a long list that I'd gone through but right now I don't know if I can handle any more side effects of ANYTHING
