Don\'t know how long it takes for the withdrawals from Effexor, but the psychiatrist decided to dismiss me and told me \"Just stop taking it\" YOU DON\'T WANT TO DO THIS!! I was also getting Lamictal from him, and he said \"Just stop taking it\" It\'s been a little over 2 weeks now and the hell gets worse daily as well as the itching,nausea,headaches,disorientation severe depression as well as withdrawal from everyone including my family - they\'re sooo tired of my crying ALL the time, and actually, SO AM I!! These drugs worked SO well, both with anti-convulsion and anti-depressiant, but the end is just awful. Everybody listen up!!
