> Wow, I am so glad that I found this site, everywhere else that I ask questions, no one ever responds. It's great to know that there are people out there that are going through what I am and what I will soon be. I think that I might have enough courage now to stay at home through the withdrawls, and I've heard it's easier if you are being stepped up on a new med while you are getting off of the old one. I had no withdrawl symptoms going off of paxil and onto effexor since they were lowering the paxil and raising the effexor at the same time. Hopefully the withdrawls will be minimized if I do the same thing. I thank everyone on here for the support and the advice, I can't express how much it means to me.
> TameraTamera,
Hi, I am 2 weeks off effexor but also on a small dose of zoloft 50mg - I think this helped a lot. I also need to take about 1 benadryl a day for the nausea and dizziness - the benadryl also seems to take away your flu symptoms it works - talk to your doctor first though to make sure you can take it. The drawback is I get soooo tired.Cheers,
Mary
