I've never stopped taking a medication without starting up another one, so I don't know what it's like to actually "quit" a med.
I do know that when I was going off one and onto another, it's best to taper slowly.
The problem with effexor is that it has a short half life, so you're going to feel withdrawal symptoms as soon as you miss a dose.
Tylenol has always helped the headaches and "sparks" in my head.As for weight gain, I have put on 25 pounds since beginning ADs five years ago.
Whenever I tried a new one, and the side effect was supposed to be decreased appetite, I anxioulsy waited for the pounds to melt away.
They're still here, but at least I am too!!
