In reply to why so concerned with quitting Effexor, posted by bluestar on April 2, 2003, at 1:20:09
I stopped after 10 mos. because I felt better - I did not want medication to become the life long solution to a temporary problem. Effexor, combined with therapy, exercise, and proper nutrition changed my life.
Effexor was like putting on a band-aid, it's a great help in speeding up your recovery, but once healed it's not necessary anymore and you shouldn't rely on it to continue to protect you forever.
