I would like to know exactly why the Effexor creates
the withdrawal symptoms. Didn't make much sense to me for my
doctor to tell me that I couldn't get addicted to it...
but that my body would become used to it.Have taken Prozac on several different occasions... for 2 to 3
year stretches. It takes the edge off the depression, but never
really gets rid of it.I really liked the effect Effexor had on my mind, but when I tried
it before I had a strange sensation in my head... and the doctor thought
I was having mini withdrawals between doses. Of the different medications
I have tried, though, I felt it was the most effective. My doc now wants
me to try it again.... this time the XR, and build up really slowly,
and see how it does.Mary
