In reply to weaning off effexor after 3 years at 300 mgs, posted by gabby77 on June 2, 2004, at 19:32:40
Hi all,
I haven't been here for a while but I saw some posts recently about trying to come off relatively high doses for long periods of time and just wanted to reassure you it can be done!I was on 300 mg xr for three or more years and I have been OFF now for about eight weeks....and I finally am feeling more "normal." No physical symptoms that I know of, and the crying jags, anxiety, etc. is much less.
The withdrawal process was horrendous....it amazes me that even days go by now where I don't think about it. That is improvement!
Thank you to all who helped me......
