In reply to Re: How long do Effexor XL withdrawals last?, posted by Margie24 on June 3, 2005, at 15:47:16
Hey friends, well I have been Effexor free for almost 2 weeks now! All side effects are gone now, except for slight vertigo every so often. I went to my acupuncturist 3 times last week and also went on a toxin "juicing fest." Drank lots of fresh veggie and fruit juices and ate really healthily. I think my body really was craving certain foods to help rid my body of this crap. Whatever it was that worked: whether it was a combination of time, acupuncture and trying to maintain a diet to help keep me on a more even keel to be able to deal with the withdrawal - I am just super thankful it is over.
Anyway, I have decided to grieve the death of my daughter without any meds if I can. I will never go back on Effexor, that's for sure!! I have also signed the petition. I don't care what the pamphlet says that the pharm. co. puts out, it does NOT discuss this severe type of syndrome that so many of seem to have gotten.
I wish all of you the very best and thank you for your support. ((HUGS))
