In reply to 48h off effexor xr cold turkey and i feel fine?!?!, posted by Camille Dumont on July 19, 2004, at 6:11:16
Great news!
Glad your "withdrawl" is either, mild, not existant..or delayed. Our minds are SO powerful...
perhaps because you did not conciously decide to "stop" cold-turkey...you did not concentrate on the withdrawl.
Or maybe 48 hrs is not long enough...I know others have posted that they can "tell" after one missed dose...I however am more like you it seems,
48-72 hours can pass before I really noticed that Effexor XR was missing from my system ( I have a very FAST metabolism...so this is a bit unsusal) but it could explain why you didnt feel the withdrawl so noticebly, eFFEXOR XR is supposed to be "extended release" therefore it has a more gradual entry into your system.The dizziness you mention are the "brain shivers" that we have all experienced..and turning your head quickly is the most common way to experience this
Please keep us posted between now and Wed...and good luck!~
