In reply to Stopped Effexor XR - extreme side effects...Help!, posted by bossman7876 on September 26, 2003, at 17:40:24
Why is everybody going cold turkey?! Did your doctor tell you to do this? No! Of course you are going to get these side effects if you suddenly deprive your body of something it has become accustomed to! If you don't want the effects of stopping effexor to interfere with your life, i suggest following the instructions and slowly decreasing the dosage under your doctors supervision. I suppose because you feel alright one day, you figure they're not doing anything so you can just stop them and it won't affect you, but obviously it does.
