In reply to Effexor withdrawal is killing me!, posted by Miss Misery on August 2, 2008, at 13:09:40
I'm so sorry for your struggle. I have been off effexor for two and a half weeks and I promise you it gets better. I have also had a horrible time coming off of it (vomiting, migraines, crying constantly). I have felt significantly better in the past couple of days (I haven't even cried in two days!), so hang in there. I promise you will feel better.
Some suggestions: benadryl seems to help a lot of people and dramamine really helped me. Do you have a counselor or psychologist you can talk to? Going through withdrawal was one of the loneliest experiences I have had, so it could help to talk to someone...especially someone objective (not like a husband or parent).
Best of luck to you.
