In reply to Anyone NOT had trouble getting off this med?, posted by KimRN73 on February 4, 2004, at 12:04:47
HI: a friend just called because he is miserable and has been crying all day. his doctor told him it was fine to go off effexor cold turkey!! he was also surprised to learn that effexor is not an SSRI? I suggested that maybe some of crying could be part of the withdrawal. does this make sense to anyone? what else can I tell him? can anyone explain to me what effexor is if it is not an SSRI? he says he can not taper off because his effexor is in caps that he can not break apart. does that sound right? thank you!!!
