Hey everyone,
I was just curious if taking Benzos (just while weaning off Effexor) could lessen withdrawal symptoms??
Thanks so very much,
Best Wishes,
Violet

Benzodiazepines are incredibly useful in helping ween off of medication, as well as when having withdrawal from alcohol use or other drugs. I do not know the chemical reasons for this.

Thank you Heroin.
I do not understand why doctors do not know about the horiffic withdrawal symptoms.....Or do they just not want to admit they know......Makes you wonder..
thanks,
violet
