One more withdrawal journal, Effexor and Lamictal

Posted by Broken on March 9, 2005, at 8:05:11

First of all, I am very aware of the risks involved with these drugs, and I don't suggest anyone else give this a try.

However, here's the deal. At 7pm Monday evening, 3/7/05 I stopped taking Lamictal, 200mg a day, cold turkey. Basically looking at 36 hours off the drug right now. So far, perfect. No withdrawal effects whatsoever. I have been at this dosage about 3 months.

Yesterday, Tuesday, March 8th, I stopped Effexor XR at 7am. 300mg per day, in 2 doses of 150mg, once in the morning, once in the evening. So 24 hours so far. Right now, no withdrawals at all. I've been taking it for approximately 6 months.

I'll keep anyone interested informed daily.

Withdrawal effects of Lamictal sudden cessation can include seizures. So again, my suggestion is don't try it at home kids.
