Who needs Effexor.....

I ran out of Effexor and there is a bureaucratic impediment for the NHS to
refill me. I, on the other hand, have been spending too much and I can
barely afford it, so I am doing without. I feel well after three days
withdrawal. Should I expect a collapse or can carry on like this? After all,
I now have a source of endorphins in exercise. I guess I'd rather call my
beloved pdoc.

A call to your pdoc sounds like a good idea, I have heard there can be some
severe withdrawals from effexor, I'm sure someone here has experienced this
first hand, heaps on Google about it.

Thanks, Justin. In one of the sources I checked it says that once one is
acclimatized to Effexor, one is hooked for life. I do not like this and I
refuse to believe it. As you say, what is in order is a call to my pdoc.

Goodaye Teil,

Not having any personal experience with this drug I would hate to say this
would be your case, but a friend of mine had a hard time getting off it a
while back now, but hey, everyone is different and YMMV. Do you have a
Government subsidy on these types of medications over there?

Do you have a
> Government subsidy on these types of medications over there?

Yes, I get it free of charge from the National Health Services, which is a
neat thing over here. Actually, I am not supposed to pay a penny for any of
my medications.

That should soften the blow for ya a bit, hope it's a smooth transition for
you coming off it.

Sounds like you are one of the lucky ones who can quit it without too
much trouble. I am too, I quit with just a day of sleeping the next
day, I was quite tired anyway. If you were going to have the bad
effects I think they would have kicked in already. Some people get
problems if they are a few hours late. I'd say you made it okay.
