Q: What is the worst I can expect while my body withdraws from Venlafaxine (Effexor XR) 150 mg cold turkey?
Due to a few reasons I discontinued the use of Effexor XR about 4 days ago now. I had been taking my highest dosage of 150 mg, for about 3 months up until this point.

I started getting the brain zaps, cold chills, nausea etc, only about 6 hours after my first discontinued dose, it is terrible withdraw but seems to be getting slightly better each day. I am just curious how long I can expect these withdraw symptoms and the severity of them?

I am only 21 and fairly active and healthy guy.

A: I am currently on Effexor. I’m 17 and I’m on a 70 mg dose. You should have never just stopped cold turkey. the best thing to do is to slowly reduce your dose i.e. take half the 150 dose for a week or two, then half of that until you’re down to barely anything. i have gone off it cold turkey, and got the same symptoms. i got a lot of shaking, nausea, chills, very depressive/suicidal, dizzy, and just felt overall fucked up. i also slowly got off the dose as well, but felt that it still made me very depressed without it (more than usual). so i am back on it. i am not sure how long your symptoms will last. try looking withdrawal symptoms up for Effexor or make an appointment at the doctor for more information.
