I have been trying to wean myself off of Effexor after taking it for almost year. It was making me very tired and I gained amost 40 pounds. After 2 months of weaning down, my last dose of 37.5 every other day for 2 weeks I was still having horrible nausea and dizziness. On top of that I just found out 2 weeks ago that my father has stage 4 cancer,also my husand works out of town and I'm raising two small children by myself. I caved in and went back to th DR and she put me on Prozac. My question is, sould I have just tried to stick things out or am I better off taking the Prozac? Is going off the Prozac in a few months going to be as awful as going off of the Effexor? I'm confused!!!!
