Dear group members,
I have now experienced for the second time very beneficial effects of DISCONTINUING Effexor XR. I went from a five week trial of Effexor at 300 mg/day to zero mg/day in four days. This was followed by a nearly complete cessation of depressive symptoms as well as social phobia (which I suffer from in a very serious way). This betterment, however, is not stable and vanishes about a week later. I additionally take Lamictal at 200 mg/day
Does anyone have similar experiences? And, most important, does anyone know how to stabilize these effects (which my psychiatrist calls "rebound effects")?Jochen
