I was started on this medication by a different physician. The current physician I use was a pharmacist before he went to medical school, so I trust his judgement. Some of the withdrawal symptoms are similar to the original problems that I had when I first started effexor. My original symptoms were identified on a plane when I became ill (airsick), couldn't get comfortable, needed out of the aircraft. I could'nt go out to eat without feeling nauseated, having hot flashes, and dizzy. I couldn't ride in the car with anyone without feeling carsick. The effexor helped and I was down to 75mg feeling fine but my heart rate was nearly 100 all the time. So, I decided to stop, dropped to 37.5 mg for three weeks and experienced a migraine. I went to my physician after the migraine and thats when he put me on prozac 20mg for a week and then tried to stop effexor completely. I haven't read through many of the posts to see if my problems are similar to others or if I was even on the right medication early on. The medication did work well and I could function normally. I look forward to posts from anyone with experiences to share. Thanks John
