Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

So good to hear a positive post. Have been taking Effexor/Wellbutrin combo for migraines for ten plus years and have been on migraine medications for 36 years. Today was last day of taper for both meds and I’m feeling every conceivable effect from brain zaps to nightmares, sweats, disorientation and of course, headaches. What keeps me going is knowing that in the other side of this will be a healthier brain and liver, and no more drugs. I’m on 400 mg of Riboflavin and Magnesium, taking ginger and lots of walks. For those who are taking meds for migraines, there is a healthier and more effective solution: Cannibis. Here in New Mexico, I have my medical cannibis license. When I feel a headache coming on, I take one hit off my vape and the headache halts it’s growth towards a full blown migraine. After depending on narcotics, antidepressants and every drug ever made, I have something I know won’t end up making me feel like I feel today. I feel terrible, and plan to for a while. But knowing there’s a light at the other end of the tunnel is all I need to know.

Hey Twist. Keep smoking the herb. And check into CBD also. You can get some that has 1 to 1 ratio of CBD and THC. I also vape and do the CBD thing. I’m currently going through Chemo and other another treatment and it helps a ton. I smoke the Indica strain (hope I dont get into trouble for this!!!). Lol. I have read a lot about this. I know one thing. I know more about pot than my former Doctor knew about Effexor!!!!!!! The way I’m looking at life right now is “whatever makes you feel better. In that I mean feel better being off pharmaceuticals. Medical weed is amazing. I have only lost 10 lbs in 2 months. All in my legs. I had gone from playing hockey, cycling 20 Kms a day and also walking my dog for an hour a day to nothing!!!!!!!! Lost most of the muscle I had worked so hard to build. My wife has never ever smoked dope in her life and had encouraged me to go see my Dr for med marijuana. I dont regret it for one instant. She’s an awesome cook and encourages me to have a puff about 1/2 hour before we eat. What a doll!!!!! So one min I dont feel hungry and the next I have a plateful. Hahaha. So put one foot in front of the other there T and go for it. You will feel better in time!!!!!! Just look in the mirror, smile at yourself and TELL YOURSELF you will be allright!!!!!!’
