In reply to How long did your Effexor withdrawal take?, posted by clipper40 on February 8, 2008, at 7:43:14
Most severe in the first week, still serious but less severe in the 2nd week, much more tolerable but still present in the 3rd week, and feeling like it is nearly all behind by the 4th week. If not going on another med, then probably another 8 to 12 weeks before settling into a baseline.
Temporary antidotes can help.
If there is a particular withdrawal symptom, or several, that are really causing trouble, please post those and some suggestions can be given.
The one drug that seems to hit at least somewhat all of the withdrawal symptoms is Benadryl.
