In reply to Trade Effexor of Paxil??, posted by Clayton on February 10, 2004, at 2:21:35
Paxil pooped out on me and I went to Prozac with great success and it also helped minimize the withdrawals from Paxil which contrary to your fortunate experience was absolutely dreadful.
> I guess I'm a freek, too. I take Paxil (40mg/day) and had quit cold turkey several times with NO adverse side-effects at all. I have also restarted it after several months at the 40 mg dose (no titration upward) without ill effects.

> I realize Paxil is not Effexor, but it seems to have the next "best" reputation for problems with withdrawl symptoms insing "Brain Zaps"s, according the the posts I've read on this board.
