> So let's say you were already dumb enough to go two days "Cold Turkey" without "tapering" from 300mg's of Effexor XR/day.. and you are starting to have pretty severe reactions (like everyone else: zinging, heart palps, dizziness, confusion, etc.) do you a) jump back on it full force and then begin to taper, b) get on it half force, c) call the p-doc, or d) keep suffering in the hopes that the misery ends soon????

>e) Get a script for Prozac, take Prozac as a substitute until your withdrawl symptoms subside & then quit Prozac which has no withdrawl symptoms for most people due to it's extremely long half life. Effexor has a very short half life.
Cheers,
