I am so sorry - your therapist has clearly never taken Effexor XR and he/she has no clue what your poor body is going through. I stopped cold turkey - not necessarily what works for everyone, but I knew I could not take the tapering. For a little over a week, I have been crazy and sick, but every day the severity of the symptoms decreases. Today, frankly, was the closest to "normal" I have felt since beginning the Effexor XR. The swings are still here, but they are at least expected - I know what is causing all of this, so I just have to hold on for the ride.
I want the medication off the market. Those of you who are having luck with it, I am happy, but I don't think the rest of the depressed world should be asked to "test" the drug for one more minute.
