URGENT HELP NEEDED - EFFEXOR TO PROZAC

Posted by shelli on July 10, 2002, at 20:25:35

I am currently taking 150 mg of effexor and have been for 6 months or so - the problem is I need to get off this med but cannot the withdrawal is so bad. If I miss even one dose it is like I never took the med - shaeks, crushing zapping headaches, eye pain, nausea etc. I have read here and heard from others that taking prozac can help with the withdrawal symptoms. Since I am wanting to switch to prozac anyway I am liking this idea but I have 3 questions:

1. Has anyone ever had any experience where this has worked.

2. Is using liquid prozac better because it gets into your system faster?

3. What is the protocol for this do I stop effexor all at once one day and then start the prozac the next or do I take the prozac as I wean off the effexor.

Any information is desperately needed I need to go to my doc armed with information tomorrow.

Thanks.
