Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

I have read many making comments on reducing sugar helps. I haven’t tried this, I’m such an addict to sugar, I’m worried about intensified mood swings. I’m working on week 3 with zero Effexor but taking Prozac to help. Still have anxiety and mood swings. Had a bad day yesterday. So may try reducing sugar if this helps.

Incidentally, cutting out the ridiculous amount of sugar typical in an American diet is actually pretty easy if you just look at the packaging. OJ for example boasts a whopping 22g or sugar! But anyway, once you start noticing it, and needing to a program (I try not to go higher than 5g for snacking purposes) you’ll feel the effects immediately. Good luck!

To be honest, it’s helping me. And helping with headaches, too. I’m sort of eating like an Atkins or Keto diet, but not hard core. Just more vegetables and proteins but not excluding carbs or fruit. Just focusing more on the former.
