In reply to Effexor withdrawal - very bad news, posted by janey on November 1, 1998, at 16:30:34
A _sincere_ note of thanks to all of you who have shared their withdrawal experiences from the slow poison known as Effexor XR. Being in my second (or is it third or fourth?) day of cold-turkey from 225mg ... I now understand that these symptoms of brain-zaps, vertigo and violent bursts of crying are common ... tomarrow may be the worst day, maybe the day after.
I am finding that trying to remain still is very helpful, as is plenty of good clean water and a supply of kleenex ... and the awareness / remembrance that these are the effects of poison and not my final days on Earth.
How did this stuff ever make it to market ?Never to take AD's again,
