In reply to Effexor XR cold turkey, posted by jammy on December 18, 2001, at 21:40:14
I hate to tell you this, but there's a good possibility things are only going to get worse. My GOOD days after trying to stop effexor after weaning down to 37.5 were the first 2 days. After that things got worse each day and, after 5 days, I had my doctor paged and she called in 25mg tablets for me. Going from 150 to 0 can be dangerous. Get in touch with your doctor and WEAN off of it!

> I've been cold turkey from effexor xr 150mg since yesterday (mainly because I've not been able to get to a doctor, but also because i've been more bloody depressed since i started taking it than i ever felt before!) I know that I shouldn't just stop it but... anyone got any hints as to how long it'll take before the dizziness, tingling and (so much fun!) scary hallucinatory dreams stop? It feels like my brain's trying to swell out of my skull at the moment!
