In reply to tapering off effexor, posted by meliss337 on April 15, 2005, at 18:10:28
Hey Melissa,
Once I decided I wanted off this drug, I couldn't do it fast enough. The tapering gave me bad withdrawal symptoms and was painfully slow. I am in a group and both my facilitators (psychs) as well as my therapist recommended a small dose of Prozac be introduced into the tapering. At first I said no way- NOT ANOTHER MED- but then I tried it and I was able to taper off 150 mg in no time with little no side effects. I'm been effexor free for 10 days now and slowly feeling back to normal. Good Luck with whatever you decide! There are lots of opinions out there to consider.
