If you read this, each person is different. Some people seem to recover after a couple of weeks; so try to be optomistic.

I was prescribed Effexor by a horrid family practice doc., and not even for depression. I innocently quit cold turkey last September, not knowing that it would be a problem in any way. That is something that no one should ever do ;-). I still have symptoms to this day...but I\'m a lot better than what I was (though a wee bit worried about my heart) I thought I would die during the third week I was off the crap. For me it was a very long, slow process, but there are others that feel better much more quickly.

If you don\'t feel well soon, ask your doctor for Effexor tablets, rather than capsules, and break them into small pieces. Only take as much as you need to avoid feeling any pain or discomfort. That way you can cut back very, very slowly, completely at your own pace, and it may help you to quit without any pain.

Blessings!
