From the postings it looks like people react very differently when withdrawing from Effexor.
Been taking Effexor 75 mg for 4 yrs. Switched to the XR capsule at about yr 2. Now undergoing Dr-guided withdrawal and have taken 37.5 XR for 30 days.
Experienced just a few short spells (3 hours or so) of agitation, a general feeling of being off-colour. Had a few sleepless nights.
About to take the 37.5 XR every second day, beginning at the weekend.
Will be pleased to drop the 30 lbs weight I gained in the 4 yrs and am already in a weight watch support group & making progress. Will also be pleased to once again feel normal sexual urges which have been absolutely non-existent.
