deeschmee Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Anyone have experience with this? Anyone know anything about withdrawal symptoms and how long they last? My last dose was September 3rd 2022. I took 1 ml of liquid 25 mg immediate release. I am still suffering greatly from depression and I believe getting my brain back to a stable level I'd like to add that I don't feel as though any depressants have really helped me not feel depressed when I look back on many of my posts here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyRedhead Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 (edited) I've tried Effexor, but discontinued it because It didn't do much, if anything for my depression........I was on a higher dose than you were, 225 mg if I remember correctly. I tapered down with doc supervision, but the withdrawal symptoms were tough........I think I was pretty much over the withdrawal symptoms by about 1 month after last dose. I know you mentioned that you've tried a lot of antidepressants, but there are a few newer ones you may not have tried, that might be worth asking your pdoc about.......Viibryd, Trintellix, Fetzima.....................Have you tried Wellbutrin or Remeron?

Oh I hadn't heard of the newer ones, thank you! I did try generic wellbutrin and it made me very excitable. Actually Lamotrigine worked well for some time but then after a while I got the rash. My GP is doing a workup on my kidneys because some of my numbers were high I guess. I also have high triglycerides and my A1c is high as well. Would that affect how I metabolize meds?

I don't know, honestly.......That would be a good question for your doctor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
