In reply to Successful Effexor withdrawal, posted by Charles7 on February 9, 2006, at 20:31:24
Hello: Im new and this is my first post, I am weaning off Efexor XR and taking apart the capsules and reducing my dose by 10% each week, I'm terrified of getting the awful side effects I've been reading about, I'm on week 2 now with a 20% reduction and so far so good, a bit nauseaus, a bit emotional, but anything will be better than the constant cotton mouth I've had since starting these meds. I will admit though that in addition to working with some Cognitive Behaviour Therapy exercises the Effexor got me through a very nasty time. I only wish I'd had more info on how addictive they really were. My psychiatrist touted them as a wonder drug with no side effects and not addictive!
