> Nah, couldn't be that simple. . . no I fear it is just a simple case of the Effexor Withdrawal Blues. As I said, the cure is so easy, just take your medication as prescribed and the suffering is gone! I want to know if anyone out there in babbleland has any knowledge of how to successfully get off of this stuff? I have only attempted getting off of Effexor twice, but so far have not gotten past a few days in one case, and 2 1/2 weeks this time. Thanks in advance,
> AnneAnne, I read an interesting post about this a while back. I think the poster had withdrew SLOWLY down to 37.5 of XR and then took that for a week or so, then started to take one of the grains out of the capsule, then two, then three, until there wasn't anything left in the last capsule they took. Another commonly mentioned method is to switch to Prozac for a month and then stop the Prozac and let it slowly wash out. Hope this helps..
