Effexor Withdrawal Symptoms - Oh man!

Posted by Tomas on September 9, 2004, at 0:39:03

I just decided to "STOP THIS INSANITY"
I was one who helped my mother get off this crap - years ago...and due to OCD - I was willing to try "Meds". For 2 months I to Paxel, then for 2 months I took Effexor. I didnt want to be dependant on drugs all my life and said to myself - Im stopping this &*^&(%^%(.

Well! The withdrawal symptoms were all physical (except for hearing the natural breeze thats created when you turn your head) - Guess you can call me Superman!

My opinion - get off this med if you can and stay FAR FAR FAR away. Im sure some get help from it. I did - but seeing and feeling what it does to you when you decide - as a free thinking human being - is scary. I would say - in my case - wasnt addictive. The only urge I had was to take "something" to feel NORMAL again. You know what - eat well, get sleep, smoke a cigarette, have a shot of something and ride it out. May take a few days/weeks - BUT you wont die from not taking the meds. Our lives are worth the world and certainly worth much more than big company druf profits!!
