I just came off effexor cold turkey 21days ago
after ten years and each day I feel more clear and like myself~the problem is the roller coaster of emotions and the phsycials withdrawals. How long will this last? When can I assess the real me and not a drugged me? I have heard eveything from 55 hours to 6 weeks does anyone know for sure instead of an educated shot in the dark and I dont want to hear you shouldnt have~ I did Im here and feel great overall~Just want to know how long this pills lasting effects will distort me? I am ready to breath and live with feeling; not sedated!
Hi there
Okay...I will spare you a lecture. But the thing is...everyone is different. We can't peer into a crystal ball and tell you for certain how long these withdrawals will last for you. But I can give you tons of information.
We have a whole page devoted to information and support about Effexor withdrawals. Just follow this link.
I think you are wise to look at the range of responses you have seen as to how long it may take and take it to the extreme...maybe it will take six weeks to two months to get over this. You should probably prepare yourself for the worst and if it is less than that...then this is good. Now that you have started you will have to ride it out.
I am hoping others will chime in on this who have actually been through this experience.
I wish you the best of luck. I know it ain't easy.
