I only wish to share my experience. I started the thread of wellbutrin + Effexor = 75lb.s and I want to make sure that those of you who wish to try Effexor
to read:
It has been 20 days of tapering off of the Effexor. My last tablet was last Friday. I am still pretty dizzy, but WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!!!!!!I DID NOT KNOW the hell I was in until now! I can think again!!! I actually remember two seconds ago.
If anyone is considering trying Effexor---PLEASE DO YOUR HOMEWORK. Although I understand that every experience with a drug is different, I wish I did my homework and new this web site at that time. I wasted three years of melloncholy(sp.?) and a plitheria of bazarre side affects (don't forget 75 pounds), comprimising, because I thought it was better than being in a hospital.
I am only on Wellbutrin now. I do not know the outcome because since my diagnosis 7 years ago of severe, chronic depression I have never been off of a ssri.
Maybe I am in denial, thinking I can be like normal people and live a life without the meds eventually.
