Hello,
My wife is very ill (chronic pain, autoimmune disease - lambert-eaton syndrome). . recently she's been in a residential hospital setting and her doc had her on effexor XR 75mg for ~2 1/2 months.. it was giving her a restless feeling - like she needed to stretch her muscles.. so they stopped it last friday cold - no taper and wow has she been sick. todays tuesday and she's been in bed most of the time, very very nauseous, a little vomiting, some diahrrea, and this strange feeling like parts of her body are .. real big - like they had fallen asleep. also hard to think and very very tired, lots of sleeping..she refuses to put any more of it in her body now (doc suggested a taper of 37.5 and then 0) so our big question is wow, how long has this lasted for others?? Please tell me we're talking days not weeks.. or months?? she's so sick :(
the other question is that he plans on starting her on wellbutrin - has anyone had that help out while withdrawing from effuxor ?
thanks
matt
