Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

@marylcamp67 ,
I too have had lots of nausea related to tapering. There are lots of meds of which I've tried many. OTC remedies have at times worked just about as well as Rx meds. Ginger chews, ginger tea, or ginger liquid dissolved in water all work pretty well. Another is Nauzene, which is a chewable tab and you can use up to 24 tabs/24hours, if needed, hopefully not. If you need names of Rx meds, I've got lots you could choose from, but that's just adding another medicine. I would try the ORTs first. I feel your frustration. Stay in touch.

Thank you so much for your reply. The reason I stopped the Effexor is I felt it was causing my nausea. I ve had nausea for quite some time. I had a reverse shoulder replacement Dec. 2019 and from that time on I have had issues with nausea, but not as bad as right now. I hope you are doing well. Everyone I 've told that I am getting off the anti-depressant said GOOD. I think sometimes Dr's over medicate their patients. I am grateful that I am not having any brain issues and I thank God for this. My prayer for you: I pray that God's peace would fill you and flow out of you today. May God give you wisdom and grace to bring his peace to difficult situations. Sincerely yours.
