In reply to stopped taking effexor....side effects anyone?, posted by Colandria on October 29, 2003, at 23:34:41
Did you quit cold turkey or have you been tapering? I think you definitely want to taper when coming off SSRI/SNRI's, especially Effexor because it has the shortest half life.
I would taper your dose down for a couple of weeks before completely just stopping it. What you are experiencing is a common side effect coming off of Effexor.
