> I was taking effexor xr 75 mg. I wasn't taking the prescribed doses though i was taking 4 and 5 at a time. I also smoked it. Please don't be stupid like me! I am going through masive withdrawls. I go through shaking for hours at a time and everything. Its horrible! I have been off it now for 1 week. I am still going through all of the withdrawls. Its not fun! Please don't be stupid like i was.
>Addicted to effexor? Actually liking multiple doses of it at a time? Smoking it? I've never heard of any of these things. I was going to ask why you didn't wean off of it slowly, but I can see that for whatever reason the addiction thing probably would be too much to fight and cold turkey would be the only way.
How did you smoke effexor? In a bong? Rolled up with tobacco? What effect did you get from it?
Effexor withdrawals are worse than most. One remedy that I've heard helps a lot is benadryl. I don't know why it helps, but there have been numerous reports that it does.
