Please don't ever go cold turkey on a benzo either!!! I did with Klonopin and ended up in the ER-not a good thing


> I do NOT recommend stopping Effexor cold turkey. Missing a pill on the medium dose made me nauseous, but missing only one pill on the highest dose made me vomit. Tapering down can make a huge difference. I had no problem going from the higher to the medium dose. I was on vacation so I had less stress, and the Effexor made me sleep too much (more with the higher dose).

> I do not recommend going cold turkey for Paxil either. I was on it before and the first time I stopped I was so dizzy, the doctor thought I had an inner-ear infection! The second time I stopped (again because it made me sleep too much and I had to make a deadline for school) I was nauseous and very dizzy. I had never felt that bad before, even with stomach flu! A different doctor correctly identified it as withdrawal. Once I was back on the medication I started feeling better. Doctors should know about this!
