> Until about 8 days ago, I was on 130 mg of Effexor. I have been on this drug for about 18 months. I quit cold turkey, and the withdrawl is terrible, which I wrote about extensively in the "withdrawl" strain. Are there any serious physical consequences associated with quitting cold turkey? I am still experiencing withdrawl pretty severely.
