In reply to Effexor withdrawal symptoms!, posted by Becky on October 2, 1999, at 22:03:30

i've been slowly tapering off effexor for the past few weeks. i've been totally off since thursday. have all the symptoms of withdrawal - naseau, crying fits, electric shocks, dizzy, headache, shallow breathing, etc.
i called to check in with psych today, and told her i was having withdrawal. she told me it was impossible because i was on 37.5 mg for a week before dropping and that ensures i won't have withdrawal. am i crazy? i can't even function. i cried in my office for an hour after she told me this.
she then said, "well, maybe you should start taking it again." i actually like my pscyh, i don't know if she was having a bad day or what, but the reason why i'm stopping is because it makes me manic. SSRIs are not my friend.
i feel like im crazy. im happy i found this board though. i want to print out every message and leave it on her desk.
