A member asked:
So i went off my effexor anti depressants and i'm getting severe withdrawals should i just go back on it or what?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many antidepressants are associated with side effects if not tapered down. Depending on how long you have abstained from medical treatment and how high the dose was, the best person to advise you is your prescriber whom you should notify of this problem.
