Effexor Withdrawal Although No Missed Doeses?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Has anybody experienced having withdrawal symptoms even though you haven't missed any doses?  Normally I'll get symptoms if I forget to take it after a day, or even a few hours later than normal... but lately I've been feeling the withdrawal symptoms even though I haven't missed any doses or been late taking it.  Is this familiar to anyone?

    Sure is..only I didn't know what was wrong..If I could go back in time I'd never ever have started taking this Disaster of a drug at all! In the 60's Diazapam was the Wonder-Drug.. Well..it's Nowhere Near as bad as Venlafaxine . If you don't take it at the same time everyday could be why you are having withdrawal symptoms.. when I look back.. That's probably why I felt how you feel.. I'm trying to reduce to get off it and it takes Months and months..Hope I've not scared you but I am So upset at being prescribed this stuff and have been feeling ill for a long time.. because of it .Take care
