In reply to WHO GOT OFF EFFEXOR HOW?, posted by Killer Queen on April 16, 2006, at 15:54:21
Some people have gotten off effexor fairly easily by popping open the capsules and taking just a certain amount of the contents each day. Every day they take just a tiny bit less than the day before. It takes more time, but it is a lot less suffering.
The pain you are in now could go on for a few days, a few weeks, or even into months. Every antidepressant withdrawal I have ever had took a minimum of two weeks, but usually 3 to 6 weeks. Effexor is the worst of them all. Making custom sized doses with the contents of the capsules might be an option.
