Yes, I did wean off of Effexor slowly under the care of a doctor. I left her a message this afternoon to see if she could help me with nausea relief. Still waiting to hear from her.
Thanks for your advice!

It is actually one of the older anti-psychotics, so you wouldn't want to take it continuously for months, but it is frequently prescribed for short-term treatment of nausea, and it is quite effective.
