Hi, @mumsydoodle- I wanted to let you know I moved your post here to an existing discussion on withdrawal from/tapering off of venlafaxine (Wellbutrin). I thought you could meet members here like @jakedduck1 @sandij @cp6401 @brightwings @ksad @shermananski and others, who might speak to the room spinning feeling you have had with the decrease in your venlafaxine.

How are you feeling today, mumsydoodle?

Hi Lisa, I am new to the group and mayo clinic.I was unsure how to post a new conversation in this specific topic, so I just added my comment here. I found this discussion and was very excited to see more people wanting to get off Effexor.
I am working on tapering off and able to deal with the lower side effects.
My biggest question that I was unable to find in this discussion was after people tapered off Effexor and ended up not taking it anymore, how long did it take them for the side effects of withdrawal to stop? 1 week? A month? (I understand it is different for everyone, but just looking for other experiences)

Thank you!
