Hi when u went of Effexor did u experience any serious withdrawal effects afterwards. i weaned myself down to 3.5 mg it went pretty smooth or at least the symptoms were tolerable, but then when i went off for good for 2 weeks i felt ok then things really turned for the worse for about 7 weeks now i feel terrible, just very depressed no appetite and no motivation, just wondering if there is light at the end of the tunnel? or if u felt this way? I'm switching to a nutrition route for trying to get over my original depression, all true out the tapering it was fine but now things are pretty rough for me...
Hope to hear Back Thanks.

Hi did u see my post?
Thanks...

this is really common for the withdrawl to be delayed. it is recommended to hold at the lowest dose for some time before going off completely. please go to survivingantidepressants.org and make an account . wonderful people who have weened themselves will give you great advice
