Re: Re: Effexor Withdrawal = Depression and Anxiety!!

I\'m currently withdrawing from effexor and it sucks.. Horrible dizziness/lightheadedness, stomach pains, crying for no reason, it\'s really a bad situation. I finally took a dose just to feel better. After that didn\'t work, I moved onto Klonopin which didn\'t help much, I finally had to take some not so legal drugs just to numb myself enough for a while. So now I\'m trying to figure out how the hell I\'m going to tapir off this shit. Thank god for klonopin though, even though it\'s not helping the somatic distress, it sure as hell is keeping me sane right now. I\'ve detoxed myself off of benzos and opiates many times before, and neither were half as bad as effexor withdrawal. Please, give me heroin withdrawal over this any day of the week and I\'ll take it no problem. Just my $.02
