What i found helped *because my issue is that I wouldn't take it... I hate taking medications* is reminding yourself why you're taking it.

Or in your case, why you want to stop taking it! Its tough wading through all the different things, but take it in stride. We're here for ye!

I speak of experience as a physician, and not as personal. The things you might expect from withdrawal, are the same symptoms you are describing: anxiety, cravings, in some cases, pain. I have found that in some of my patients, a turn to "the natural" was the right way to go. Herbal teas, a better diet, and an approach to fitness was the way to go. The best thing to keep the mind occupied is exercise. With the change of dieting, they started feeling better in a period ranging from 1-2 months after. Try that, and I would love to hear how it went. P.S: Kick your physician's **** for giving you the Effexor. You did not need it.

My sister was on Effexor and the doctor got her off it by reducing 1 pill to half a pill and so on but yes she had withdrawal symptoms too which dissapeared as days went by. Juste remember something.. antidepressants aren麓麓t effective if they don麓t go with therapy I know this because I麓m a psichologist , so just hold on in a fwe days you麓ll be feeling better.

You apparently cannot stop abruptly or can get annoying side effected. should be reduced under doctors supervision. Blood pressure should reduce with low dose along with any other side effects that you may experience. If have history of depression should not go off entirely as depression can come back and then have to retake.Drug works good for depression but should be reduced once feeling better.
