Thank you everyone for your input on withdrawing from Effexor. I was put on Effexor 20 years ago for traumatic brain injury headaches and depression. I wanted to try life without Effexor, so my doc prescribed the 150mgs in smaller doses so that I could taper. My insurance wouldn’t cover the smaller doses and calls to my doc have gone unanswered. So, I am out of Effexor and on day 2 of forced cold turkey. Going to try a little exercise this morning as recommended by coloradogirl... I won’t begin to tell you guys how I feel - sounds like you’ve all been there. #tryingtobebrave
