Hi guys, THANK YOU all for your help!
I feel much better today. Yesterday i drank lots of water and kept throwing up till it stopped. then i forced myself to have some just boiled potatoes (i know it sounds wierd) and it calmed down my stomach. i took effexor right away. i never tried take it on empty stomach. those strange things in my head stopped after a couple hours, so i have no doubt that it was withdrawal effect. i was so sick, depressed and scared yesterday that i decided to ask my doc to get me off at least effexor, because i dont want end up insane. thank you again, i'll come back here after work.> Dear Tatarka~
> I agree with Rene's advice,in that you have to try to get that 75 mg. of Effexor in you somehow. I imagine that your body is also reacting to not having the 300 mg. of Wellbutrin. Maybe try taking something to calm your stomach down, like pepto, and then try to take your meds. By stopping the drugs suddenly, you are going to feel violently sick. The alchohol is probably something you should stay away from while on them.
> Until your stomach calms down, just try taking little sips of gingerale or water so that you don't dehydrate. When you can tolerate that, then try a little more liquid and some saltine crackers. Sorry to sound like a Mom...but,I am one.
> Hope you feel better,
