Can you please tell me how you taper by taking 3X per day. Are you on the XR type? I am. Should I open the capsule and divide. Will that give me relatively equal amounts of the drug??
I'm down to 75mg one day and 37 1/2 the next. I don't see my dr till next week, but she knows that I'm weaning off it.
what kind of headachs to people experience. I have these one-sided headaches in the back of my head that over the counter pain relievers don't seem to eliminate. Even acupuncture doesn't eliminate them entirely. I also have tingly numb hands, but have been diagnosed with tendonitis in my hand and wrists, but I somehow suspect its all related to the meds.
I started noticing a lot of the side effects of effexor after I weaned myself off of a lot of other drugs I was taking for the anxiety and depression, like Remeron, Neurontin, Klonapin, Xanax - but I don't want to go back to those since my depression and panic has mostly lifted and is somewhat stabalized.
Anybody here ever taken Serzone? I was doing well on that for about 8 years and then had a panic attack about the time it was taken off the market and I was advised to switch to all the other stuff, which has had all these challenging side-effects. I didn't understand why all these things were happening until I surfed the web and started reading the posts here about the same symptoms as side effects for effexor.
I'm hoping to find out more about Serzone being removed from the market and if I need another med to perhaps see if I can get my dr to prescribe the generic Serzone. If anyone has any info -please share.
