I accidentally completely stopped taking my Effexor 75 mg 3x a day when I was very low on it. I meant to call my mail order pharmacy to see why it wasn’t auto filled but forgot and also forgot to include what I had left of the medicine in my daily pill containers. Had a nightmare last night but tonight had a horrible one. Very nauseated, sweats, feeling horrible. Have been on it for a years. Help, what do I do. Forgot because I have been feeling bad from bad reactive hypoglycemia, for which I have been looking into for a referral to Mayo.

Hi @jcq and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will see that I moved your post so you can connect with people who have had withdrawal symptoms from effexor.
they say expect it to take 4 to 6 to 8 weeks to feel that the Effexor is working again –https://www.drugs.com/answers/back-effexor-xr-2393131.html

How long have you been off of it? Have you since called your pharmacy or physician?
