I'm new to the site and have read many of the postings on Effexor xr withdrawal. I was on Effexor for seven years and have been taking 450 mgs. for the past two years. After suffering from of the common side effects I asked to switch to another drug possibly Celexa or Wellbutrin. Doc stopped Effexor completely, no weaning and I started 50 mg. of Zoloft. Crashed terribly within 24 hours. Nightmares, shaking, confusion, anxiety, anger -- scared out of my mind. Dr. made huge error in doing this. DO NOT STOP TAKING EFFEXOR SUDDENLY - YOU WILL REGRET. Effexor good drug but not worth it for the side effects are pure HELL when stopping.
