Quitting Effexor 2nd attempt

Posted by Mr K on April 27, 2004, at 6:29:10

I am just about to attempt quitting Effexor for the second time. I was down to one 75mg capsule per day but I have had enough of taking them. I was put on them for depression after Paroxetine did not agree with me. The reasons for my depression are well and truely passed so I decided to just stop taking Effexor, I lasted 7 days but had to go back on them on the 8th day due to headaches, tight back muscles,nausia,light headedness and very bizarre electric shock like sensations through my body whenever I was not lying down!!!!
I was told initially that Effexor were easy to stop by my GP when I did not need them anymore, I have a slight feeling that this was a lie. I am really annoyed because I don't want to take them now but my body can't seem to live without them.
I feel disappointed that i could not do it, I felt the withdrawal on day 2, by day 5 it was a nightmare and by day 7 it was unbearable! Has anybody got any advice for quitting these evil capsules?

Cheers

Ben
