Effexor withdrawl and Nausea - Depression Medications - The Depression - Story - Medicals

About 3 months ago I decided to lower my dosage of Effexor XR from 75mg ed to 37.5mg ed. For at least a couple of months now I have been feeling constantly nauseous, and I really do mean constantly. Is this a commonCommon cold effect of lowering Effexor dosage? I feel terrible all the time but I do not really want to increase the dosage of the medicine again as it was impacting my cholesterolCholesterol

yup.. if you do a yahoo search for effexor withdrawalsDelirium tremens.. you will see hundreds of websites that talk about how hard it is to get off of effexor.. if you are strong willed you can do it though.. talk with your doctor and see if he can help.. another thing that some were saying is that if you take the caplet apart and lower the beads in it.. ie: take out 10 the first day, then another 10, etc.. that it helps.. good luck and if you need anyone, we are here... =-)

About 4-6 weeks ago I stopped taking Effexor. My doctor assured me it'd be a piece of cake...all I had to do was take the starter pack backwards. While i was doing that it was fine, but day 2 of no pill was the worst day of my life. Pretty much all the posts you will read anywhere will tell you dead-on what it's like. For me, 3-4 days were really bad, and then about 7-10 days of not quite as bad. Taper more slowly than two weeks, but I think no matter how slowly, you will still experience this. Take a few days off of work, and tough it out. Good luck. P.S. Try not to make yourself crazy by reading a million discouraging posts from people who couldn't hack it and had to go backBack pain - low
