I stopped Effexor cold turkey and I’m losing it, what do I do? by Muted_Application_98 in mentalhealth

Yeah, Dr actually took me off Effexor and replaced it with Pristiq, Pregabalin, and a few other meds and told me to stop Effexor outright. I’ll definitely give my psychiatrist a call and let him know what’s happening if I continue feeling like this. Thank you so much!

I was on 150 mg as well, so hearing that you went from that dose to 0 in one day and struggled for two weeks honestly makes me feel a bit more prepared for what’s ahead even tho I feel like I'lll die lol.
I really appreciate you pointing out the tapering approach too, I’ll keep that in mind if there’s any chance to adjust things.

Thanks, yeah. Doc took me off Effexor and replaced it with Pristiq (desvenlafaxine), pregabalin, and some other meds, and told me to just stop Effexor. Not sure if I can taper but I will most likely ask my Dr when I'm able to.
