> Most research has shown that Effexor XR should be withdrawn over about a 30 day period. That's how I did it and had no symptoms, and I was on a whoppin' dose!
Some of my problem is that I was also put on Bactrim for 10 days for a Streptococcus Pyogenes infection on my arms. Bactrim has some whopping side effects of it's own, so I decided to start my withdrawal from Effexor after I'm through with the Bactrim. Yet I take Effexor last night and this morning at usual dosage and feel just fine.
An apology to everyone that went through Effexor withdrawal. Even tapering down can be awful. I don't regret taking Effexor though. It made a huge difference in my life.
