In reply to How long do Effexor XL withdrawals last?, posted by The_Resistance on April 18, 2005, at 12:44:49
Hi there,
I am really all messed up. I am new to this and just hope you will maybe help as far as knowing I will live thru this.
I started tapering my EffexorXR from 150 to 112 for a week, then to 75 for a week, then 37.5 for a week. That was three days ago. Yesterday I had none and I thought I was going to die! Crying, lightheaded, shaky, nausea, and not leaving the couch.
My husband split a 37.5 capsule this morning and counted it out so I took half. I feel a little better but not great. I figure if I can take it three times per day for awhile I could at least return to work.
I don't know how I can get thru this!!!
Thanks for listening!Mariqua
p.s.Doc also has started me on Wellbutrin 150 when the weaning began and increased it to 300 two weeks ago. Could it be the two just fighting each other or just the Effexor or maybe the Wellbutrin????? Haven't been to a full day of work since last Monday.
Any reply would be appreciated. :-( Sorry for babbling.
