Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)
Depression & Anxiety | Last Active: 21 hours ago | Replies (6296)Comment receiving replies
It's been more than 10 days since I have taken my last dose. I stopped 3-1 taking my pills cold turkey. 3-6 & 3-7, out of desperation, I took maybe 30 beads between the two days. I have not taken any Effexor since.
Determined to weather the storm and not take this. The brain zaps are minimal and tolerable at this point. But the emotional stuff just about did me in yesterday. I'm not much of a cryer or temperamental person. But my moods right now scream something else. I truly don't like myself at this moment... because I'm unpredictable as to whether or not I'll be sulky, withdrawn, crying or just angry at the world. Add in bouts of extreme happiness which I don't mind and well you've got a perfect picture of my frame of mind.
Uhgggg 🤦🏼♀️

effexor, I hope and pray that you can continue getting off of effexor. I tried a couple of weeks ago and it was not successful. Panic/anxiety attacks. My thinking has been all confusing, doesn't make sense sometimes. So I had to go back on effexor and I hope my thinking clears up. I wish you the best of luck.

I mentioned in a previous post I was going to research things that produced dopamine and increased endorphins. I found this link, it's very simplistic and doesn't take a nutritionists to understand, so I thought I'd share in the group.
Sucks I hate any type of seafood if avocados because reading this they help a lot. But bananas, fruits, nuts, chicken and cold showers I can handle easily. The cold shower increasing dopamine by 250%... I may take two or three a day. 😂😂
