Tomorrow I will have my annual physical. I have a very supportive, though not always especially well informed on this subject, doctor. I have been on Effexor for 6 or more years for depression/anxiety/chronic pain and have experienced virtually all the side effects described in missed dosages and the lethal malaise that accompanied my several attempts to withdraw. Apparently there are several drugs that can mitigate withdrawal symptoms, from OTC dramamine to herbal preparations to other prescriptions. I would happily learn of anyone's successful weaning, and of any substance (legal, that is) that may have aided in the process and how it aided. Thanks, and wish me luck.
