In reply to Prozac for Effexor withdrawal?, posted by rosalinda on June 10, 2001, at 20:59:30
My experience in withdrawing from effexor xr, was that the prozac definately helped. I went thru the hellish withdrawal for a week when someone suggested this. I took 10mg. of prozac for only 2 days..... the withdrawal symtoms went away. Hopefully it'll work for you too. Good luck!> Hello--Has anyone tried treating Effexor withdrawal with a short course of Prozac? Some psych sites I've looked at have recommended this, but they have only had doctors' opinions, not patients' experiences.

> I had hoped that reducing the Effexor dosage gradually would make it easier to kick this stuff, but it hasn't, so I'm trying to figure out something else...I've spent most of the last 2 weeks in bed because of the brain shocks, vertigo, gastrointestinal problems, etc., and it's getting a little old!
