In reply to Re: About the Effexor XR Withdrawal, posted by miracles on March 27, 2005, at 14:06:25
I have been taking effexor for a couple of years, and it has been the most successful drug to combat depression for me. I was suffering from post-partum depression, and my daughter is about to turn five. I went on a 4 day camping trip this weekend, and forgot my meds. I am experiencing withdrawls, very similar to the effects I felt when I first started taking this drug. I have been contemplating going off of the drug and seeing how it goes. I was thinking that since I haven't had a dose since wed night, this may be a good time to try it. My question is, does anyone know how long the withdrawl effect should last? If it's only a week, then I'm half way there, but it'd it is more like a month, i'm not sure if it's worth it. Anyone have advice?
Thanks
Kathryn
