> Hi gang,

> Just wondering if anyone has been of of effexor for more than a month. I just passed the 6 week mark and I still feel horrible. I spoke with a girl yesterday who told me it took her 4 months before she felt better. Whats the deal with this drug? Why would any withdrawal last that long? I'm at my wits end!! I feel great emotionally, but these physical symptoms are killing me. Achey joints, headaches, fatique, and head pressure to name only a few.

> Tali completely understand what you are saying...i am now 46 days completely off of effexor. now that is not including the 2 months i tried to get off of it. the only thing that helped me was that my doctor finally added celexa at night and i gradually went down on the effexor until i was completely off of it. the celexa made it basically withdrawal free! (well, i felt so crappy for 2 months, i may of had withdrawal but it wasn't as bad as the two months before) did you start a new ad after effexor or are you on no meds at all?
