Brittany,

 

This is something that can only be answered by your own doctor because it involves all health issues you have and all medications you may take, both prescription and over-the-counter.

 

Please, call your doctor, then let us know how you're doing?

Hey Brittney. This isn't a around the clock monitored site, so it's and miss whether you'll get a response, or how soon. The people here are great, it's just that they're not always around.

I'm afraid, from what I read you may in for a bit of a rough ride. There is a long line of comments about stopping this drug which can read here.

 

They even have a page on Health Central dedicated to Effexor withdrawal here.

 

If you can make contact with your doctor,you should try and see if there is anything they can suggest to help.

 

I haven't tried that drug, so I'm not very helpful. Try reading through that first link I gave, there are so many people commenting that maybe you'll find something that helps. Just didn't want you to think you were alone, let us know how you are doing, someone may come and give you good ideas. I wish I knew the answer for you.

Oh, the doctor may be able to give you samples in the morning to hold you over until your prescripton is filled.
