Answers:
Stepping down off a med is an arduous and scary process. What have your doctors done to help you overcome the withdrawal? I don't think they should be content with the statistic that it may take 6 months to get over the acute withdrawal syndrome...that's unacceptable!!

Go to the link above to see what other patients are saying about Effexor and the best way to manage your life after it. I switched from Effexor to a combination of Wellbutrin and Remeron, which just made me completely batty. My psychiatrist's reasoning was that taking different combinations of SSRIs will counteract the side effects of changing medications. It was a long and painful process, but I pretty much cut all meds cold turkey and relied on heavy therapy to get me through the withdrawal symptoms. I wish you the best of luck with overcoming.
