Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

Thank you.
I HAVE been crying a LOT! I guess this is a withdrawal symptom? But, it’s different. It’s not as controllable as it seems it should be and, after a few minutes of weeping terribly, it ends and I feel oh so much better! Have to laugh, after a full day of looking at memory care places for mom, I brought my 8 year old to the library. Front and center was a book for kids “she’s still my grandma” about Alzheimer’s. I broke down in tears. A couple ten year old boys were whispering and looking very uncomfortable! Ha! I have to laugh now. It was pretty funny.
Then, as providence would have it, I found a gorgeous and perfect book on Ecclesiastes (sp). There truly is a time and a purpose for everything. Including weeping.

@secretwhitepop,
My mom developed alzeimers disease not long after we got off the cruise. I admit, I missed a few signs while on the ship but I was there as a daughter, not a nurse...I thought it was forgetfulness.
Now what I am going to say is absolute truth for most folks with Alzheimer's. They do not seem to realize what they have lost. I have seen this over and over again.
This disease is harder on family than the person with the disease.
Wishing to share comfort with you, Bright Wings.

Oh, I know the verses you mean. So comforting! They have helped me so many times!
Yes, for me, this is the time to start living again. Time for me laugh, dance and sing.
After being invisible in the town I lived in since 2014, yes it was time to move away and start living again. I am so happy now. I wouldn't think I could be so happy and have sooo many friends when I just started getting out a month ago.
But I have blossomed and my singing has brought me to everyone's attention as well as my very outgoing personality.
I feel like I have finally become who I should have been, had I been loved and protected like I should have been, just for being the precious child I was.
Unfortunately, I was more than ill treated AND I had to become my own safe loving adult.
I never gave up on myself...I can't begin to tell you all how many times I was suicidal. 1000's would not be an exaggeration. BUT my brother committed suicide at age 25. I could and would not do this to my family again.
I believe my brother started to recover his memories at age 25. 1974 or so...Psychiatry was not yet ready to handle his memories. They were barely ready to handle mine in 1986...
Yes, there is a time for everything under heaven. I am Truely grateful.
Bright Wings
