Hi.
> I just got off Effexor & have been off it for about 8 days.
Why did you discontinue Effexor?
Can you describe in detail how you went about tapering over the two week period? Were you taking any other drugs at the time?
Some people find that Benadryl or Claritin D help mitigate many of the withdrawal symptoms. They are both antihistamines that are sold over-the-counter.
What other drugs are you thinking of trying? I can certainly understand your aversion to taking any right now.
