In reply to What's the easiest/best way to get off Effexor??, posted by Joanie on May 20, 2003, at 11:36:30
The best way is to ask your doc for Prozac. Take the Prozac while you are weaning off of Effexor.
I have never tried Effexor (I am doing very well on Lexapro). But I have done a lot of reading of medical journals and posts over the years. My impression of Effexor is that it is a very safe and effective medication. Doctors like to prescribe it because of it's high success rate as well as its safety. You may just need a higher dose.
