> hey there. i just noticed this board toay, and say a message from toady. I am just getting off of effexor and had great success with it... but.. if i was ever even a few hours late taking the med i had severe with drawl from it. it is horrible. i am on day two of not taking it (after tapering dosages for nearly three weeks) and i fell really bad physically. i have lost a lot of depth perception, and have an electric shock sensation going through my body at all times. i just want it to stop. please consider this when starting the med.. i wish someone had told me. i never would have taken it if it was going to be this horrible coming off of it.


Have you tried adding in a small amount of another serotonergic agent? I decreased very slowly off of Effexor. I had two bad days at the end when I went off of the last 10 mg. of it. At that point I started on Cymbalta and ALL of the problems went away. Prozac is supposed to be very good to use for this purpose as well.
