I have just gotten off of Venlafaxine. Anyone else?

Hi! Thanks for responding. I have heard that it is super hard to get off of, but not that hard. Wow. Makes sense - my symptoms have calmed down for the most part, but I constantly am hungry, or have this feeling in my upper abdomen, and if I don't eat in a certain amount of time, it gets worse and I feel super faint all of a sudden and get really clammy and then I just start to sob. I also have constant diarrhea. Sorry if that's TMI, but what were your symptoms like?

I’m so glad I found this! I am Starving! I am also super tired, diarrhea and a little off balance. I have been tapering and now actually have not taken it in 4 days. How long does the side effects last?

That is not TMI! I have been on a lower dose of Effexor for 2 weeks now and I still have diarrhea, fatigue, panic, and extreme vertigo. I actually just tried to shower and almost passed out. Glad to hear that I’m not the only one who uncontrollably sobs for no apparent reason. Do your symptoms lessen after eating? I get very hungry but I can’t seem to eat and it makes me weak.
