In reply to Getting off Effexor XR (if I can)!!!, posted by kataklysm on January 18, 2003, at 5:44:32
As I've mentioned previously, one way to get off it is to substitute othter meds temporarily. Sibutramine (a diet drug) is like Effexor...or an SSRI with Concerta (a stimulant.) Or, neurontin (an epilepsy drug) might help with the anxiety. Have you ever tried taking the regular effexor (as opposed to XR-exteneded release,) that might help, too. (The pills can be cut in pieces.) Also, sometimes, drugs are hard to get off when we need them.
