To anyone who is want to get off Effexor or is in the process:
It can be done with minimal side effects! I am now 4 1/2 weeks effexor xr free and i'm finally out of the fog! I weaned VERY slowly from 225mg over the course of 3 months, then took Prozac when I reached 37.5, and am still taking the Prozac. I had w/drawel symptoms for about 3 weeks or dizziness, headaches, body aches, tired. But the past week, I feel like a new person! I feel like Effexor really put me in an unmotivational fog the past year, and i'm finally coming out of it. The w/drawel was not that horrible, I feel like I did it right with going slow and adding the Prozac.So you CAN come off this drug, just be determined to, and go slow. I am so happy to be through this!
