I'm trying to get off of Effexor XR ( with my MD's permission) and i am having HORRIBLE side effects....dizziness, nausea, etc. Has anyone successfully gotten off of this drug? How can i lessen these side effects? I have been tapering off my dosage

I did go off effexor but I was only uncomfortable for about 2 days. I very very very SLOWLY tapered off. I would take less one day, get back to regular dose next day and then go back to taking less again, and then back to regular and continuing this pattern for about 2 weeks until I finally decreased my dose daily and then completed the patter all over again. Does this make sense? It was a great way for me to taper off. Hope you find comfort soon! (Oh, I'm always so curious to know why people choose to go off of their meds...???)

Hi,

My husband was on effexor for his rage problem and had really bad time getting off it too. He is off it now though but only because we can't afford it. Good luck.
