hi - i new to this sight. i have been reading these posts and feel i have gained some valuable information. i have been on effexor xr 75 for about 8 mos and am trying to get off. last time i did this i couldn't take the side effects. i was having tingling all over my body and nausea. i can take some things but not nausea. i got back on and have determined that this drug is causing weight gain and i have a hard time dealing with that. does anyone have any suggestions on how to battle these side effects? my dr suggested for me to take 37.5 mg every other day for two weeks than quit. if i miss two days it gets bad -- any suggestions would be appreciated. i have taken 1/4 of 25mg of phenegran and it seems to take the edge off of nausea. any idea how long these symptons last or how long it takes to get this drug out of your body??
