Hello all,
I am just beginning to wean myself off of Effexor. I am still suffer with depression and I take 225 mg a day. It's not working anymore. I am going to try natural herbs for depression when I am done. Any advice how I can withdraw safely? Anyone accomplish thus on their own? Thank you. turn

If you are weaning off of Effexor, I highly recommend a doctor's help. This is a hard drug to go off of. Does your doctor know what you are doing? Did you try increasing the medication? This does often help.


Please talk to your doctor about this before you go off by yourself. I really don't recommend this. You need a doctor's help with this medication...

Welcome to the forum...

Hugs, Karen...

agree strongly with karen. it is a hard wean. done it twice. under supervision from my doc. i would also suggest keeping your options open with trying other anti-depressants. you may have needed an increase for the medication to be effective or can try another. of-course what you chose is right for you. talk with a ND. natural doctor. i wish you well.
