In reply to Anyone had success on Effexor XR? , posted by jp on October 24, 1999, at 14:59:14
I've been using effexor xr for 5 months, and have been pleased with the results. After working through the 1st month of side effects, I feel my depression has subsided. I'm left with few minor side effects, including delayed orgasm and hot flashes. I would like to ween myself off of the effexor and try to maintain this feeling without the help of a prescription. I've followed this forum for several months, and have heard of numerous withdrawal horror stories. I have discussed this with my pdoc, but he seems less informed than I, and has assured me it will not be a problem. Can anybody recommend a successful method, through personal experience, of minimizing these horrific side effects? Gradual reduction and/or mixing in another SRI? What period of time? Thanks.
