Maybe you could ask your doctor for a bridge like zoloft or Paxil. When I finally got myself completely off Effexor, I stuck it out for 6 months. After which I was just crying too much and too agitated. I’m on seroquel at night and after a week of that am on zoloft during the day. I’m trying to ween off seroquel but I feel some anxiety creeping back. (So I’m going to stick with the 25 mgs).

I had been in Effexor for over 20 years and did quite well, but since I’m through menopause I though well, maybe I’ll be ok without. 🙂

You’re only 20. Take a bit more time weening if you’re able. No need for you or your new husband to add stress and depression to your union!
