I'm trying to go off cold turkey aswell.. Will it affect me long term do you know? Also what does the doctor to do get you off of this drug?? I am so dizzy that i can't have my eyes open for too long. I've gone with missing effexor before..and its deadly..i mean i feel like death. Can't move. Can't stand up. Throwing up constantly. If i split the capsules..Can i take the drugs without capsule? how would i do that? Any help would be great. THanks
