I just started weaning off of Effexor a couple of weeks ago. I was on 300mg. Went to 225, then 150, then 75. I didn't realize the possible side effects of quitting until dropping the 75's a couple of days ago. WOW! Nausea,vertigo,shocks, insomnia,and the rest of the usual suspects.
Doctor wanted me to switch to 20mg Prozac, but I decided to get off of all meds, so I didn't pick up the prescription for Prozac.
Yesterday was BAD! Felt horrible, and got worse. I picked up the Prozac after reading about the benefits on this site. Took one yesterday afternoon and this morning, and its getting better. Not perfect, but I'm not freaking out like yesterday.
God Bless you all for the information. I don't know what I would feel like today, if I hadn't gotten the info on this site. Hopefully, we will all get past this, and return to a "normal" life.
Whatever that means....
