Going off Effexor XR and back to Nardil

Posted by Suzanne on January 27, 2003, at 16:52:42

I started Effexor XR 1 week ago. I was only taking the 37.5mg a day. After speaking with my doctor today, I am going back on the Nardil that I have been on for 17 years. I hope I don't have any withdrawal symptoms from the Effexor after just a week. Has anyone taken it a week and had withdrawal symptoms. My doctor also called Phizer and was told that Nardil wasn't being discontinued whatsoever. He wasn't going to let me go back on it, unless he was sure that I could get it. I start the Nardil next Monday.

I was taking the Nardil for GAD and depression. My experience with Nardil was very good. I had been on it for 17 years and on a low dosage. When I couldn't sleep at night then my doctor prescribed Klonopin-.5 mg. I had undergone a few devastating things in my life, such as my best friend dying and my daughter was born with Down Syndrome and my husband just had a pancreas/kidney transplant and before was on dialysis. The nardil took off the edge. I had almost all the side effects, but it wasn't bad. They lasted only a couple of days. Looking back, It wasn't bad. I wasn't able to go above 45mg, because I was overly sensitive to the medication and when I stood up, I was blacking out. My blood pressure was so low, that the doctor actually put me on caffeiene and chocolate. As far as the dietary restrictions, I ate everything on the list, including the chesses. It didn't bother me. The only fruit I stayed away from was over-ripe bananas. Hope this helps.

Good to hear your going back to the best! And, no, I find it extremely unlikely you'll have any withdrawal sympoms.
