In reply to How long do Effexor XL withdrawals last?, posted by The_Resistance on April 18, 2005, at 12:44:49
Hi there,
It's me again. Just thought I would update you on what's going on. I made it thru another day and I have to admit I did break down and take a 37.5 dose yesterday. After laying on the couch and thinking and analyzing everything, I came to the conclusion that the drop from 75 to 37.5 must have been too big of a drop for me,(sounds funny I know) I think I just needed a little stepping stone in between there. Because this all started after I went to 37.5.
So, to make a long story short, the more I think of it now, I am pretty upset with my doc. All she would have had to do was call me and tell me that it sounds like bad withdrawal especially after the third or fourth day and tell me to get some of it back in my system. I wasn't in my right mind to figure that out. I will call her today, hopefully I can stress how I truly feel about the situation.
So I have come up with my own treatment plan for now. I will take a 37.5 and also a half of one that would make it what...18.75. So that is about 56 right?
If I take that for like a couple of weeks or so and then down again a bit I hopefully will make it okay.
Ya think?Mariqua
p.s. The way I feel right now I think I can return to work tomorrow!!!! It is GREAT to feel halfway normal again!!
