I had been taking effexor XR 270 for 3 years 3cps a day
for a month I took 2 and then for went down to one for a week
then one every other day for a week.
Since Sept 13th I have not taken any capsules.
So with every thing I am going through I was wondering how long it would be
going through this withdrawl.

Hi Avis:
I am not sure what kind of withdrawal symptoms you are experiencing. If you are talking about the return of anxiety or depression, it may not be withdrawal, but a return of the symptoms you were trying to get rid of in the first place. You can read more about Effexor XR here.
If you want, you can send me an email and describe your symptoms and maybe I can give you a better answer. Or, you can post the question here on the site.
