In reply to Effexor is mind poison!, posted by Christian on December 10, 2001, at 16:30:13

Hi Christian,

I took Effexor 75mg for 7 days and then came off cold turkey, it was nasty !!! Felt like i had the worst 'flu ever. After 4 days I took Prozac 10 mg and like a switch those symptoms disappeared, I felt normal, well as normal as I could back then when I was severely depressed!!

It is quite common for people to withdraw from effexor using Prozac, because it replaces the EXR and has a very long half life and therefore produces no withdrawal symptoms in most people.

Ask your doctor about it, don't suffer any more than you need to.

Good luck, let me know how you get on,
J
