In reply to more effexor withdrawl advice needed please!, posted by Dark on January 24, 2005, at 8:36:00
I think that your doc's advise was reasonable. Some people report good results from taking Prozac at the same time you are weaing off of Effexor. Then, ffter the Effexor is stopped completely, keep taking the Prozac for another week or so.

After advice from my doc i have started to taper off by missing a day of taking it after 7days, then 6, 5 etc until i was taking one every other day. Now im taking one every 2days, then 3days, then 4 and so on untill i stop completely. Now obviously after 2 days without taking the withdrawl effects started to kick in so im feeling pretty worried.
