Hey, this blog isn't about not taking medication you need--it's just about minimizing withdrawal symptoms when quitting Effexor. Stress while reducing Effexor, or withdrawn from Effexor can definitely worsen your withdrawal symptoms (and these can last a looonnng time--I'm a year+ off Effexor and when my supplements aren't enough, I take my prescribed Valium). Only you know how you feel. There's no point in being miserable.

Many thanks! Yes. My doctor put a prescription in already. And my husband is relieved. And I am relieved. Just knowing the Rx is waiting for me. And my daughter is amazing. I told her I worried about her and she says she is perfectly fine but doesn’t like it when I cry. Breaks my heart.
