> I was on 225mg of Effexor and was starting to notice some side effects. Constipation, low sex drive, really bad headaches and anxious feelings in my chest. I was feeling good emmotionally so we decided to see how I would do off meds. Big mistake. It took about a month of seasickness from Effexor withdrawels to get to a point of really fealing good. I was great for about a month but had alot of RAGE. Then one day a lot of stressful things happened and it felt like a tent was thrown over my head.
> Finnally I started on Lexapro but did not care for it so I went back to Prozac, which I had been off of for about 4-5 years. Within a week I could tell a small difference with the depression and anxiety. Now I am on Symbyax. Danny

Hey Danny ~
Thanks for keeping us posted on how it was to get off of the Effexor. It is good to know how it went for you.

Let us know how the combo that you are on now goes for you.

I went off the Wellbutrin as I was getting irritable and edgy. So now I take 150 mg Effexor in the a.m. and 75 mg at night. That seems to help with the lethargy.

Also, if I stand up too fast, move too quickly, I get the woozy, blacking out feeling, too. Weird...
