My neurologist took me off 150 mg. one day and put me on Wellbutrin the next. Either the day after or the one after that, I got sick. I'm back on it because my therapist thought it was the Wellbutrin! I feel okay now, but I'm aware of the problem.

Hi Painterjane,
Effexor can do that. It's awfull. I belive that they recommend that you don't quit right away. Even when I titrated down, it took me a while to feel normal again. Then they took me back up, and I'm taking 150 mG twice per day. I'll hate coming off of this.
I felt, when I was coming off, that I was experiencing a hang-over and drunkenness at the same time. One think that helped a little was ginger, in what ever form. Ginger-ale, as long as it is natural. The artificial stuff has no ginger and won't help. Ginger capsules can be bought at a health food store, or mowt pharmacies.I feel so sorry for you. It's no fun at all. Please take care,
Dee.
