Ok this is the thread! Trouble coming off Effexor

Posted by ander35 on January 4, 2014, at 13:29:53

So I switched from Effexor to Wellbutrin, but I still take about 15 mg of Effexor because I had withdrawals when I stopped it. I also just quit smoking. I am on the last low dose of the nicotine patch which is fine, I feel over it.

So I decided to drop that last Effexor and I lost it. I felt like I was feeling my feelings for the first time in 15 years, when I started meds. It just shook me up, bad.

I felt lonely and like I had no feelings before because of the meds. I was crying badly and etc. Really bad.

Are SSRi's this bad or am I just feeling temporary withdrawls from Effexor and nicotine?

I feel like I was realizing that these drugs made me a zombie and ruined my life for 15 years yet I cannot function without it.

I don't know what to think.
