> Has anyone had the experience of being hungrier than normal when going off of Effexor? I feel a little sick because I haven't taken the medicine in a week (I've been gradually reducing the dosage the past few months), and so it makes me feel slightly sick. Well, eating makes that sick feeling that I know is because of withdrawal go away, so I have found myself eating a LOT more than usual. I hate this... I'm hoping it goes away SOON.
I am gradually coming off Effexor, too. My appetite has decreased some, I'm finding. Which is really good, because I was REVENOUS while taking it! I've also found I do get a little sick to my stomach lately, but I know that's a withdrawal side effect. Haven't eaten anymore, have actually eaten less!
I'm telling y'all...this has been the best info. source for talking with others who have had same problems with Effexor/anti-depressants as me. I'm almost out of my last bottle of Effexor, and I'm stretching it out as long as I can, taking about 37 mg. every 4 days. Brain zaps and everything!: :-)
