coming off effexor XR

POISON AND SSRIz

It was a joke. Haldol being an anti-psychotic, I was calling you psychotic. And although it was made in jest, you haven't done a whole lot to disprove it :)

Honestly, I just vent. Wether its "psychotic," how I vent, or speak the truth no matter how blood filled my statement is. From Paxil, to Zoloft, to Effexor, to Abilify, to Risperdal(The worst out of the bunch by far!), Zyprexa is equal to as horrid as Risperdal yet Zyprexa makes you gain 50 pounds in a month and it happend to me!!!!, oh oh oh Depekote LOLOLOL WTF does this scam do???? I have absolutly no idea for I was on it for almost a year with absolutly no change and side effects, I just don't understand how with sooooooooo many negative side effects and opinions on these toxic medications, why do they PASS THEM!? WHY? Profit!? I just don't get it how the FDA can pass such toxic substances which have far worse withdrawl than hydrocodone and even oxycodone if your use isn't super heavy within the 10-30 milligram a day type deal. I'd rather have the flu and restless legs and arms, than go completely blank in a world full of virtigo, standing up and fainting, and becoming a vegetable. Oxy and Hydrocodone although addictive and constipating, GOD HOW I WISH THEY CAN MAKE THESE DRUGS SAFER, and use these drugs for the euphoria and immediate change from depression to balanced and happy.

The only drug that ever actually helped me on my life was Adderall...I took it once a day before I big test, or concert, baseball game, really anything were I had to really focus and it worked amazing. Yet as I got older it gave me more anxiety and faster heart beat, so I stopped taking it. I use now a combo of Suboxone, Hydrocodone, Roxicodone, to manage my stressful days in a synthetic society of concrete, money, and traffic. After 8 years of failure, I finally kicked ass and saved big bucks while on opioid medications. Yea its hard to get off, but so iz EFFEXOR!!!!
 
effexor withdrawals (indeed terrible)

I'm getting off effexor 150mg now. The withdrawals are terrible! I'm doing this because I have to get off effexor before I can begin my ibogaine treatment. The opium barely helps with the withdrawals. I can't imagine how much worse it would be without it. In jail, I had to go cold turkey off effexor xr because it took my family some time to get my medicine to me. I was on 300mg then, and let me tell you, those 2 days were the worst ever! I've never came so close to losing my sanity before. I've gone through xanax (prescribed) and alcohol withdrawals before and effexor takes the cake. I actually had a grand mal seizure due to the xanax withdrawals, but effexor detox is a weird beast indeed.

Pray I have a safe journey with ibogaine.
 
Coming off of Effexor made me truly psychotic and out of my mind. I had to stay in the psych ward a fourth time because of my perception of reality. It still haunts me knowing my mind can be lost so completely.
 
300 mg for 10 years!!! I have just accepted that I will take it for the rest of my life because, indeed, the withdrawals are hell on earth!!! When I have to miss a day, antihistamines really take the edge off the WD's.
 
I had the shakes, couldnt even say words (kept studdering). it was horrifying.. my fiance took me to the ER and they had to adjust my taper to get off it. I had been on between 150-225 for several years.

Glad to be off it.. Just on xanax for life now, it seems. Which has its own set of obstacles.
