My insurance quit covering it several years and I had to stop cold turkey, during a divorce. It really was pretty horrible. I ran out of my adderall that same week as well.. which also was dropped from my insurance. I lived but never again. I'm back on effexor and doing well on it so far. good luck to you and god bless.
Are you going on anything at all to replace it??? |

Hey dorrie~ I have been taking EffexorXR for a couple of yrs now, and haven't experienced any side effects that I know of. My Dr had taken me off of Lexapro to put me on it.
Are you going off of it solely b/c of the wt gain? Are you going to start another med? Take care Dorrie and let your Dr know if you have any side effects that concern you.

I never weened off of effexor... switched immediately to Cymbalta.... I actually lost about 25 lbs on Effexor... Gained it all back plus many more due to other meds...
Sorry for the rambling... Abbie

Thanks for your replies!! I am still doing OK. I am now on 1/3 the dose that I used to be. I am not replacing it with anything else. I am going off of it because I was taking it to help me through my earlier sobriety for anxiety....I do think that I can cope now...I got sober almost 8 years ago..I have been on effexor for almost that long! The weight gain is a big part of it though however I have tried to get off it for the purpose of losing weight and always end up taking it again

I've been taking Effexor for over five years without any weight gain.
