In reply to ANY POSITIVE EXPERIENCES WITH EFFEXOR WITHDRAWAL??, posted by KRM123 on March 30, 2003, at 22:04:29
Yes, actually.
I didn't find Effexor withdrawal to be horrible. I certainly saw the potential for it very quickly when I tried to go off it too suddenly, but I soon realized that I would simply need to taper off it more slowly. With a very slow gradual taper, listening to my body and staying at a higher dose as necessary, I found it perfectly tolerable to ease off the Effexor.
I think most people who suffer severe withdrawal don't do a gradual enough taper. The withdrawal can be AWFUL if you stop suddenly -- but it's really not so bad otherwise.
