I was taking 75 in the am and 75 in the pm. I did not taper off. I really wasn't aware of why I got sick until I went online to see if there were reactions to not taking meds. I had skipped my dose Fri and by Sat night it got bad. I didn't stop on purpose (emergency out of town visit and left meds at home). I had no idea it would be like this though. I am up and around now, which is a big improvement (although still sick), but at least I don't feel like I'm dying! I wasn't aware of any of these side effects. I knew if I quit I would have to taper off but I didn't know it would make you this sick in less than 24 hours. It is sooooo not worth it. Thanks for the support.
> I am so sorry you are vomiting!! You do not need that. Some people just don't respond to Effexor-especially the withdrawals! Can you ask your doc for an anti-emetic so you can stop this horrible vomiting, not to mention 4 days of it, you are experiencing??? It's only been 4 days. May I ask what dosage are you on now and from what dosage did you start your withdrawals at?
