In reply to Effexor withdrawal, posted by NancyDenver on June 19, 2006, at 23:12:20
Hi Nancydenver,
It took me a full year to taper down from 300mg to 75mg of Effexor XR. I see pdoc in two months to see if I can go down to 37.5 and then hopefully completely off.
It was another pdoc who had me at way too high of a dose. Switching pdocs did a service for me as the old one didn't think I should taper down at all. I think he was wrong, and I'm glad new pdoc seems to agree. She also knows how long it takes to get me off of it.
So far I've been pretty lucky with withdrawal effects, but until last week I didn't know that angry outbursts was one of them. I wish I had known when I blew up at work and got called in on the carpet. It's too late to say it's meds withdrawals even if I want to open up the I'm on pysch meds can of worms.
Good luck getting of it. You'll can do it.
