How do you wean off of Effexor?
Your doctor can put you on a schedule to wean off of the stuff. I DO NOT Recommend going cold turkey – i did that and it took me six weeks to detox completely and withdrawal symptoms every day – i felt like crap for six weeks and my heart was racing and jumping and felt like it was skipping beats. Your doc can wean you off – you’ll do similar to the girl who came off of Paxil but with more time in between cutting down your doses – they’ll just slowly decrease your dose, let your body adjust to it, decrease some more and so on til you’re off. They’re doing that with my mom now – she’s on Prednison and they decreased her and let her be for three months, then decreased her again – she’s got 3 more months left! 🙂 Good luck!
