Yes, I agree that Effexor XR was one of the best drugs I was on for Depression and Anxiety, and when I quit taking them, I started on Chinese medicine, and later went back to a combination of prescibed herbs and drugs now. When I stopped Effexor, I had the shocks feeling for about two weeks, with a spell of a few days in bed, and vomiting at the end. I did not know about stopping them so slowly and suffered the consequences. After two weeks I was fine, except, I have never been able to really conquer my weight problems.
