@nseidel If you click on my name, you'll see my other posts. After I was off Effexor, I began a regimen of supplements that made me feel a whole lot better--particularly, L-tryptophan and GABA. You can look at my list to see if any of these supplements are helpful for your particular withdrawal symptoms. Taking all this stuff is not cheap, but these are not intended to be a permanent thing. It's been months, but I am finally feeling "normal" most of the time, so I will start tapering (slowly) off these in the coming week and see how it goes. I am not a doctor, so this is just my experience, not medical advice. Also, be sure to note the interactions of any supplement you might take with anything else you're on as well as with any medical condition you might have.
