> I was on Effexor for 4 years. I had gotten up to 225mg when we decided to get off. dropped to 150 for 2 weeks then to 75 for 2 weeks then 37.5 for 2 weeks the o. Used Dramemine and Benedryl to keep me from being too sea sick. Good luck. I can feel again. Danny
DANNY??? Did I hear you RIGHT? "sea-sick" meds will help me with this constant feeling of needing a bucket??? I'm trying it.. and if this works, you've got a new best friend!!!
Please, is there anyone out there that can assure me that I'll feel normal again someday?
I've been taking effexor for quite a few years .. it left me FAT but HAPPY!!! In an attempt to lose some weight my trusted Doc did a 'quick wean' (4 days at 75, then 4 days at 37.5) with me so that I could start taking some diet pills. Seriously, even when I missed one dose I felt like I feel right now. I always thought I was crazy or just dehydrated or something. This site and these posts have really helped to reassure me.. BUT I NEED MORE!!! Can anyone give me an idea how long now that I'm 'clean' will I feel like this???
