In reply to Has anyone successfully quit effexor? how?, posted by Anne on April 23, 2000, at 17:26:10
I don't know if you have gotten a response from anyone yet, but i successfully took myself off of a 150mg daily dose of effexor xr. reading your post i was glad to see someone knew what i was talking about when i went off of it i felt the same shock. it lasted i believe about a week... but after that, i had no more problems. i have been off of effexor now for 7 months, and havent had any symptoms. i don't suggest you do it on your own though, make sure you have someone who is there to keep an eye on you, according to my old psychiatrist there can be rather big problems if you stop taking it, but my mother did it, i did it, and neither of us had a problem with quitting, other than that annoying shock... good luck!
