In reply to Effexor worth the ramp up/down?, posted by porkpiehat on August 9, 2016, at 15:38:53
I never found Effexor withdrawal as bad as others mentioned. If I cross tapered to another AD, I barely noticed anything.
In theory, Effexor should behave very much like an SSRI. However, it tends to be activating, even in doses which theoretically should have no effect on norepinephrine.
Have you tried Zoloft? It has side action on the dopamine transporter (probably more so than Effexor has on norepinephrine). It is likely more motivating than celexa.
Prozac too can be more activating than celexa.
