Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

Day 4: No Effexor for 4 days....never thought I would get to this point. As I noted in my last post, yesterday (day 3) was terrible. I am happy to report that today has been better. Still having those brain snappy things and I'm still a bit dizzy, but I can deal with that. I didn't have to take Xanax today and I managed to get out in the sunshine this morning and take a walk, both are very therapeutic. I'm trying to keep busy and hubby gets me out of the house every day (feel too disoriented to drive). I had a good night's sleep last night....no nightmares. I'm even going to attempt to cook some dinner. I sure hope this is the beginning of the end. Sigh.....

@arachel Congratulations on your progress. You must feel so happy to be beating this drug. If you can manage without it then that's certainly the best way to go. I think if you can, then you can experience life more fully. Of course I am not really very knowledgeable about this so maybe I don't really know.

Sounds like you are making good progress. I haven't driven either, still too jumpy. Good to have your hubby's support. Day by day sounds like the fastest we can proceed right now!
