A Cautionary Tale re Effexor
Hi Ladies,
I'm wondering if anyone else out there has had problems getting off Effexor?
My chemo brought on menopause, and I was having a terrible time with hot flushes, so my onc put me onto ef...
Been there, done that - just a different drug that I was using (as a last resort) for pain. When I decided to be "drug free" (still on Arimidex) I went through hell. I took the last pill on Christmas Eve - not sure how I got through but I am so pleased that I am off it. Stay with it and slowly ever slowly you will be FREE. I was never advised how strong this medicine was and it would be an issue to get off it. I suppose all we can do is whatever is needed at the time. Hand in there XLeonie
