I am going through Effexor XR withdrawal. Could use some help here.?

Question:

Took my last pill about 36 hours ago. Feeling VERY uncomfortable right now. Could use some advice to help deal with the withdrawal symptoms. I'm at work and feel kind of out-of-bodyish. Almost impossible to concentrate on anything.

Answers:
I hear that!.I am also on Effexor XR 450mg.when i miss a dose i just need to be alone in my room with no noise or bright lights and need to sleep! i get a terrible headache and i also feel the out of bodyishness it is like i am in a trance.or clouded See if you can go home early due to illness..when you get there take your Effexor and go to sleep with a fan blowing cool air on you.and drink some ice water.hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow..It usually takes me a day or two to feel back to normal..so take care of yourself the best you can!.go ask your boss if you can leave!
Take Care,
Jenn

Other Answers:
Hi there, I have been there! The vertigo isn't fun at all. The only way to stop this is to get some more Effexor in you. If you don't, you are just going to have to wait it out and I don't know how long that will take.
Are you trying to take yourself off it?

Effexor could have relieved symptoms of social anxiety. If you have quit taking the medication, you may be experiencing anxiety. You need to discuss it with your doctor. Your reaction is important information in your history. Good luck ! if i miss an effexor xr dose i know it within 3 hours. i feel for you A LOT! i'd say go home and sleep it off, that's the only way i broke the effexor DT's so i could try to get pregnant.

and to the one who said you can come off it safely in two weeks.. yeah it's safe to come off of it, just not quite that wonderful, the dizziness, feeling spacey, getting the shakes. christ i thought i was going to have a heart attack with my heart racing so fast.

I feel for you I'm supposed to start taking the stuff myself and I'm actually scared because i hear it pretty strong stuff and what to rely (get hooked) you know? Hang in there you should really speak to your doctor and see if he/she could go an extra week or something to help you out. Good Luck.
