> I took Effexor XR for five weeks, and felt no effect. I stopped taking it cold turkey three weeks ago. I have been hypomanic ever since. I am starting to think I don't have depression, but am manic irritable. Any rules of thumb here? If you just have depression, can you get manic when you w/draw from an AD (which didn't even work!)
I have just stopped taking effexor after 2 months at 150mg. I dropped 33.5mg's a week for 4 weeks and still it was rough. you just have to taper off as slow as possible. It's not easy but you can do it. What ever you do, don't try to rush it.
