Effexor withdrawl update! Put on desvenlafaxine to see if it worked better than effexor. No dice
Same medicine really. So I weaned off effexor. Taking 100 MG effexor then put on 5 MG zyprexa. Took both for 3 weeks
4th week 50mg effexor and stayed at 5mg zyprexa. 5th week STOPPED effexor but continued 5mg zyprexa and added 20 MG Prozac. I am off effexor 5 days now. I continue the 5mg zyprexa and 20 MG Prozac. For the first 2 days I was dizzy and my sleep was a little broken up. But day 5 no withdrawals. Don't feel great but nothing like the horror stories I've read about. I was on effexor for 15 years. No more!!!! I continue the 5mg zyprexa and 20 MG Prozac until I see my Dr. Next month. I am terribly sensitive to meds and I continue to suffer from depression and anxiety. But I'm off effexor forever. It was good until it pooped out. Will never take a SNRI again. I pray!!! And I pray for those who are suffering.
