In reply to Re: Effexor Withdrawals - How long do they last?, posted by jono_in_adelaide on September 19, 2011, at 17:28:38
> You could substitute with Przac for a few weeks, this would take the edge off of the withdrawls, or you could go back on Effecor at say 150mg/day and taper that down over 2 weeks or so.

> I think tapering from 300mg per day over 1 week was way too quick, if you tapered over 4 weeks its likely that you'd have no withdrawls at allI agree 1 week is very fast. My pdoc was very up front with how quick it was. We decided to go with 1 week for numerous reasons. I knew what I was getting into and how awful I would feel. I was just curious if anyone else has gone off Effexor without the use of other meds and how long the withdrawal symptoms lasted. Thanks!
