Ok question. Who are you seeing to withdrawal from Effexor? Ur normal pcp doctor? Which I am. Or usually do. I’ve been on this for 20 years. And like i said tried tapering off 5 or 6 times. Each longer.
Longest was 6 mos but I did it too fast. So ima go slowly. And I’ve read everyone’s input here on this blog. It’s been so inspirational that people are successfully getting off even after the terrible side effects. Which I know. I’ve done it so many times. Unfortunately during and after Covid the Huge downfall in the healthcare system… I can’t get appts with good doctors now cecuee I’m on Obamacare. (That’s a whole nother story) my dr sys to me we usually refer these types of requests to psych! That’s what upset me. My doctor of 20 less years whom I’ve done this with 5 times before says this to me!!! But I was with her before she had children. I moved locations with her. Mayo Clinic people experts!!!?? Is this ok? Now I responded to her explaining this exactly (I mean I’m one of a lot of patients) why should she pick up my chart and look at it to make any decisions? No? Thank you. Any doctor on here reading this? Input?
