A psychiatrist said that it is from serotonin withdrawal and prescribed Lexapro for the symptoms. It does wonders, but as soon as I stop taking it the withdrawal symptoms return.

I read somewhere that Effexor is getting to be known as \"the drug with a life sentence of withdrawal\", and that some people never get over the withdrawal symptoms! I am scared this has happened to me and many others after reading these posts.

I plan to send my story in and hope that something can be done to help those of us suffering from this agony.
