In reply to Just starting Effexor withdrawal--advice?, posted by kcgordon on July 27, 2005, at 18:25:53
Withdraw SLOWLY. as slow as you can. SLS (Scott) has some good advice on withdrawal. I came off Effexor a few years ago and I had to take 2 weeks off work with dizziness and all sorts. This was on top of two weeks off for depression and one week for flu. i didn't keep the job for much longer. be careful. When I withdrew i only tapered for a week because that was the only advice I was given. Take your time. Best of luck. I've just finished withdrawal from Zispin (Remeron) and it was horrible. give yourself a little space to feel bad for a while. These drugs affect our very beings and they are not aspirin!
