Effexor people: Do NOT go cold turkey for ANY reason. I was on barely 75mgs for just over 6 weeks. I felt yucky so I went cold turkey about 5 days ago and literally have not gotten out of bed for 4 days. Absolutely absolutely useless pain--eye pain, nausea, headache, uuggh!!. DO NOT GO COLD TURKEY, I repeat. TAke care of yourselves, taper off much slower than your docters even recommend. Its not worth it. Ive been depressed clinically for over 5 years but this is the first time Ive actually felt unfunctional. My life has stopped--much worse than the darkest depression ever was.
Good luck everyone. Any suggestions as to a better drug?
