Hi,
I just want to let everyone know that I took Effexor for 9 months (150mg x 2/day) and discontinued it abruptly. I had no withdrawl symptoms whatsoever. None!
At first when I was offered Effexor by my Pdoc, I refused to take it because of the ominous accounts I had read on PsycoBabble about the withdrawl syndrome...brainshocks and all that. None of it has occerred for me at all.
It was an excellant antidepresnat while I took it and truly helped me. I would hate for anyone else to refuse the help they could obtain from this medication because a few people experience the withdrawl symptoms so graphically described on this site.
Take care, everyone!
