In reply to cant get off this effexor!!!, posted by badfish37 on September 17, 2005, at 3:41:22
> I have been trying to get off Effoxor for 4 days, which was directed by my doctor. I went off of it gradually and now I feel like a crack addict missing my drug. I have been having these hollow headaches that I'v had before when I forgot to take my med, I have been throwing up and I have panic attacks. I'm freaking out and they seem to get worse everyday. I cant call my doc cause its Saturday and hes not in till Monday, but I cant handle these side effects anymore. I dont know what to do about it, if anyone has any feedback let me know, cause I seriously am thinking about taking them just to ease the pain and I know I shouldnt.
When I was having withdrawal from Cymbalta, my doc told me to empty a half of a capsule in some orange juice and take some that way. I did that for two days and the side effects were eliminated.
The most important thing you should do is call your doc on an emergency. That's why they get the big bucks. Your doctors don't want you to suffer and will tell you better than anyone here how to deal with it since they know your background and history. If you can't get your doc on the phone and your symptoms are getting worse, call any doctor you go to and ask for help. Someone will help you. Good luck.
