Day 26 Strong NO EFFEXOR

Quitting

I posted my story earlier this month but I just want to share my experience so far after stopping Effexor completely for 26 days so far. I was on 75MG for 8 years ( Thank god not higher than 75MG )

I feel like myself again. The first 2 weeks sucked and were rough on the side effects especially the brain zaps and all what you have read but today I feel totally better. I did have severe nausea that sent me to hospital the second week because I was not eating at all and was vomiting even if I drink water ( I now take Pantoprazole) but I am doing way better today and learning to eat again slowly and small portions.

For anyone out their trying to taper or stop I say there is hope and good luck on your journey.

God Bless
