I was wondering if anyone could tell me the average time of "withdrawl s/sx from Effexor xl?...I had been on the med for about six months..(second time around this one)..when I had switched off before I had no symtoms most likely because i was placed on celexa and being another SSRI this somehow did not make me so friggin' ill..I was N/V/D for three days and now just am experiancing the "shocks" with any activity and sometimes just with eye movement..not horrible but very unpleasent to say the least..I am BP2 and am giving up on AD med's mainly SSRI because of the side effects ie weight gain contact wear intolerance and so goes the lisit on and on..I am hoping to try Topamax and or Lamictal...I have a family memebr who was on Topamax for a while to combat a tumour induced Migrane complex (for which every med know to man has been tried without consistant relief..) and she had very bad cognitive side effect..bad..she was a fruit loop and then some..but anyways I hope someone has some advice..did I say good advice?..well one can always hope..:)
Niki..
