Go off as slow as possible even if you have to stock up medicine. I started out with a large bottle of 300 mgs and took 5 months to come of and went down even to pebbles worth.
You can die I think coming off that stuff or feel like it I dont know how one can hold a job down if not coming down slowly. Say you want to go up before you go down and don't even tell the Dr your quiting as they don't understand the withdrawals at all.
They are completely ignorant. get a stock of it or keep it comming in and take 5 months going off or 6 months. Shake the pebbles in the capsules as they are stacked. Mix them up good. Go down 20 mg every 2 weeks. This is only my suggestion and what I did as I tried to go off it 3 times and failed having hidious symptomes.
I finally succeded. After 8 years on effexor a woman died of liver damage as it overworks the liver . It ruined my vision. It is posion to the body and finally the company has addmitted it's dangers, but Dr's keep perscribing it because of stocks and money I believe.
The love of money is the root of all evil and Dr want to remain blind to its dangers, because it is a decent AD. You just become physically and mentally addicted to it quickly. Say no to effexor. Love Jubilee
