In reply to Effexor withdrawal or Wellbutrin side effects?, posted by oceanbabe on July 27, 2005, at 20:27:04
I just found a nifty book at the local public library that discusses withdrawal effects *in-depth*: The Antidepressant Solution, A step-by-step guide to safely overcoming antidepressant withdrawal, dependence, and "addiction" (Joseph Glenmullen, MD; 2005). He talks a lot about withdrawal symptoms and how to taper meds/manage them, and how to tell if you're having a withdrawal or med side-effect symptom. Effexor's one of his listed 'worst offenders',and anxiety is one of the many symptoms he lists in a checklist.
The book may have some interesting info for you and your doc. I'm really impressed by its thoroughness and thoughtfulness (and references to sound research, as far as I can tell).
Good luck with this, oceanbabe
