Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

It will depend on what else is going on in your life. My therapist and psychiatrist don't actually agree on what my underlying problem is. As of last week the psychiatrist was suggesting lexapro (which I understand comes with its own titration issues - wheeeee) and then possibly wellbutrin. My therapist thinks ADD is the underlying problem - not depression. Tomorrow I'll know what they decided for the next try...or maybe I just stay drug free a bit longer.

@youngsally I will be very interested in hearing what your doctors decide is the source of your problems and if ADD is part of it. My daughter had ADD and is prone to depression, but never without a cause. My son has/had ADHD but seems great now and has been very successful. I think for him the key is staying busy to burn off that hyper-energy. He can be non-stop.
