Hi Matt
Nice to hear from you :)
>About a week later, I decided I would just suck it up and deal with an awful withdrawal, get it out of my system for good. This is the decision I made and that I am going to stick with.
Matt, I think you're being a bit silly! Abruptly stopping Effexor is not useful or helpful in any way.
>. It has been 11 days since I took an Effexor. All 11 of these days have been equally bad. Today was as bad, if not worse than yesterday. Each day I get up thinking, "ok, this has to start easing up". I can fully appreciate the advice to "go back on a small dose and wean off EXTREMELY SLOWLY". Basically, I think it's gonna suck any way I do it, and now that I've been clean for 11 days, I don't want to touch the stuff.
The thing is, if you return to a low dose and taper slowly it will suck a lot less :)
>And while I'm here, what d'yall think about anafrinil/clomipramine?
I think it's a potent AD...........if you can tolerate the side effects :)
Take care Matt (and be good to yourself)
Ed
