In reply to Re: Effexor XR withdrawal symptoms @ 37.5mg/day, posted by April8 on April 22, 2008, at 13:52:59
I was on 225mg of effexor xr and now am down to 37.5 mg. Had many side effects, brain zaps, sweating, anger, no patience, dizziness, and tired. I started coming off in late May08 and have found that the best way is very very slowly decreasing and then stay at one level until you feel stable again and then decrease. I am going to use 1/2 of the 37.5mg of effexor and then 1/4 etc. until I get completely off.
My question is: I have extreme itching all over my body and I was wondering if it is because of weaning off effexor xr or something else. Has anyone else experienced this symtom? I am also prediabetic and wondered if maybe this itching is because of this. I would appreciate any comments any of you can add.
Many thanks. Elizabeth
