Anna Laura,

It makes wonderful sense! As you may suspect, I am not convinced that you should be taking mood stabilizers. Perhaps this is foolish for me to suggest, but I sense they will just make matters worse.

Effexor can be truly awful to get off of, so be sure you've given it a fair trial before you undertake the ordeal of withdrawal. On a scale of one to ten in terms of severity of withdrawal, I'd rate Effexor a solid ten.

If you must quit taking it, then I would suggest you taper over a period of perhaps three to four weeks. Occasionally, a person is able to quit Effexor with no withdrawal symptoms, but it is very rare indeed.

Please keep posting --

Mark H. (marcare?)
