i *knew* effexor was going to come up in this thread.:) i truly feel that effexor is in a class all of its own, and would not touch this drug with a 10-foot pole. i don't want to see this menace of a drug give the others a bad name...(and, yes, i know some have had success on it, but there are many, many horror stories/bad reactions to this particular drug...it is criminal, i feel, for this drug to not come with some *serious* warnings.)
poster, i am *so* sorry you are going through this. i hope someone can help you. i wouldn't go back on the effexor. perhaps you could try another med or a natural remedy. there are many that could help you. let me know if you'd like more info...good luck to you.
take care,
amy
> I have been experiencing withdrawal effects from Effexor XR for about 3 months now. I have had withdrawal symptoms: anxiety, dizziness, blurred vision, and now depression. I went off of Effexor (as well as Paxil and Zoloft within the past year or so) because I was having similar symptoms on the drugs. I have had much fear about what I am feeling and even though I have been through therapy, much of what I have been feeling doesn't make sense. I am thinking of starting back on Effexor once again after 3 months of withdrawal to soothe the withdrawal symptoms as well as help with my depression. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
