Question:
I've been tapering off my Effexor from a few months now and went off yesterday. The withdrawal totally sucks and I was wondering if anyone out there has any idea to alleviate the awful withdrawal that I'm feeling. I want to try to get off Effexor completely, but I can't stand the withdrawal.

Answer:
If you drank a lot of coffee before, try cutting down. Exercise, hard. Vitamins. If you live with other people, provide a warning when you want them to stay away from you (I hiss from time to time) 3 weeks for me. Ist week was hell. Absolute hell. After a week, it got ok. Today for whatever reason, is a bad day. Just remember to make sure you differentiate the symptoms of withdrawal as symptoms of withdrawal instead of thinking, oh this is how I was before I went on medication, no wonder I needed it. THEY ARE SYMPTOMS OF WITHDRAWAL. For example I got this jaw clenching thing, I phoned my GP, it is expected to continue for another 2 weeks. This is not something I had before the medication It, like many of the symptoms you will experience over the next few weeks are the result of withdrawal. effexor withdrawal is documented to be particularly nasty, and it's something that has to be done very, very slowly (with a tapering dose). as for alleviation, it can depend a lot on what kind of symptoms you have and what kind of side-effects you had with effexor to begin with. although most people recommend cutting out caffeine and chocolate and drinking more water, my brief (self-administered) withdrawals have been helped best by doing exactly the opposite.
