getting off effexor tip

Posted by sorrel on March 21, 2003, at 13:11:40

from personal experiance i found that with the doctors help by slowing tapering off the drug helped alot. but if one is still having problems with withdrawal i would try slowing changing the original day dose to a night dose...ex. if your taking it at 6:00am change that by an hour each time until your taking it just before bed. and THEN with the doctors help slowly start tpering off the drug.
I found that i mostly got the withdrawal during the day time when i forgot to take it for a day and that if i took it at night reguarly and forgot to take it I would be going to be to sleep it off anyway until the next dose. (PT. accidently missing a dose: my withdrawal would occur the morning after the day i remembered to take the next dose.) Mind you, I still got withdrawl while awake but it wasn;t as bad. and it usually started in the evening or was a quieter problem and this helped with my morning job so as my head and eyes wouldn't start spinning from any little movement. I just incorporated this with my doctor tapering it off and it helped alittle from the last time. Of course i don't think it will help everyone seeing as people have different reactions.
