In reply to Effexor alternatives ???, posted by John2222 on May 9, 2003, at 23:51:47
Everybody recognizes Effexor as having the worst withdrawl symptoms. You are definately not alone in your journey. Most others have minimal withdrawl effects.
Do your best to taper slowly. But, if after a few weeks of gradual tapering the depressive mood does not subside, then the depression is returning.
The symptoms of withdrawl you are experiencing do not last forever. Even after taking the upper dose of a drug, you should adjust to a new lower dose of it within a month.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Many have found that omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil capsules have helped the withdrawl from antidepressants. For more info just ask
