Re: Effexor Withdrawl - crashed and burned

After going back on 75 mg/day Effexor XR, awful symptoms are gone. I try to eat properly, exercise and meditate every day, with moderate success (donuts are a food group, right?). I will continue this plan until after the holidays, and then try again to withdraw completely, 37.5 mg at a time, under the supervision of a doctor!

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who finds the strength to post their messages. My actions during withdrawal have not always been smart ones, but as I see you all struggling with similar choices I realize that we are all doing the best we can. Our difficulties are worsened by the drug's negative effects on our minds and bodies. However, those of us who suffer from chronic depression should also realize that during the time we withdraw from Effexor, depression may once again creep into our lives. How can we distinguish between withdrawal symptoms and the recurring depression? I don't believe we can, because our minds are affected. If we are under the care of a good doctor, the job belongs to him/her.

Please, seek out a doctor who will work with you to resolve any problems you may have with your medications.
