I have only been on effexor for 4 weeks. I am already tired of the dry mouth, naseua and weird dreams. I was told by my Psych that I would get sick if you just stop. I thought I would do it myself by taking one every other day and then every 2 days, then every 3rd and so forth. Anybody have any idea if this works? I took Wellburtrin for 4 weeks and was sick the whole time, I lost 10 lbs. I just stopped them and it was fine.
