Effexor Withdrawal, Tapering Help, Side Effects and Alternatives | Alternative to Meds. Side Effects 1 Views • 24 days ago

This Q&A session with the Founder of Alternative to Meds Center, Lyle Murphy, Top questions about Effexor Withdrawal are covered.
Please Like, Share, And Subscribe.

1. What is Effexor?
Effexor is an SNRI, or, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. Effexor has one of the shortest half-lives of all the medications in the Antidepressant drug class. It became widely used because of its ability to deliver effects rapidly.

2. What is Effexor used for?
"Effexor is used as a mood elevator. It is used for people who are suffering from depression, suffering from being morose....to help kind of give them a lift." - Lyle Murphy

The problem with Effexor is it's not sustainable. It likely is not any more sustainable than lifting someone's spirits with Methamphetamines. Effexor really can take a toll on someone's nervous system.

3. What do I need to know about Effexor Withdrawal?
Effexor is actively restricting the re-uptake of Serotonin or Norepinephrine. The Serotonin aspect of this medication is meant to assist with impulse control, symptoms like suicidal ideations. The Norepinephrine aspect acts more like a stimulant, to assist with focus, and elevating an individual's temperament.

"This drug is not actively making Serotonin, it's not making Norepinephrine. On some level, it's spending it" - Lyle Murphy

Warning: Due to the short half-life of Effexor, medication withdrawal symptoms may come on faster. For more information on Effexor Withdrawal Symptoms and Side-Effects please visit:
https://www.alternativetomeds.....com/antidepressants/

4. How can I support my Effexor withdrawal naturally?
There are ways to support it naturally, and there are ways to support it using bridge medications. Another thing people use to help the Effexor Withdrawal process is titration compounding.

"If you can stop the Serotonin plunge, and just be dealing with the Norepinephrine plunge, you can change the withdrawal specifications of this medication from being a dual-pronged thing to being more singular at least." - Lyle Murphy

5. What types of people might not tolerate Effexor well?

Anyone that has anxiety, mania, psychosis...anyone that tends to be a bit high strung, this medication could make them more than high-strung, and leave them completely in panic.

"The short term gains [ of Effexor ] are not often not worth the long term consequences" - Lyle Murphy

6. What are some of the side effects of Effexor?
Excitability, being over-revved, not being able to sleep, abject panic...

Effexor (venlafaxine) Side Effects 0 Views • 24 days ago

Dr. Pagnani of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates discusses Effexor (venlafaxine) an SRNI or selective serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor that is used for the treatment of depression and various anxiety disorders. This can be a very effective medication, but as it has a short half life, it can also cause significant withdrawal when tapering or trying to stop. Doing so, should be under the supervision of a mental health professional.

Dr. Pagnani is the founder and medical director of Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates, an Instructor at The Johns Hopkins Hospital for the Department of Psychiatry, he supervises psychiatric residents at Jefferson Hospital, he serves on the Young Professional Board of Uplift, the Center for Grieving Children and he maintains a private practice of Psychiatry in Philadelphia where he sees patients for one-time psychiatric evaluations and second opinions. He is a licensed physician and surgeon in NJ, PA, NY, MD, DE, FL and CA and can provide consultations to individuals via HIPAA compliant Telehealth visits living in these locations.

Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates is a private practice of psychiatry consisting of about 25 psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners and psychotherapists with physical locations in Philadelphia and Paoli, PA and serving all of PA, NJ, NY and FL virtually via HIPAA compliant tele-psychiatry. Individuals seeking not only evaluations but long-term psychiatric care, can contact Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates directly.

These videos aim to increase awareness and discussion of mental health topics and to encourage struggling individuals to schedule an appointment directly with a mental health provider. Mental health needs to be normalized, and simply speaking about mental health topics openly, is an important first step.

Dr. Pagnani and Rittenhouse Psychiatric Associates are NOT advocating for or against the use of any mentioned psychiatric medications for any specific individual. Additionally, any side effects mentioned are not a complete list of potential side effects or contraindications to taking any mentioned medications, and all risks and benefits of a medication should be discussed with an individual’s provider at an appointment, before starting, stopping or making changes to a medication regimen.

A person struggling with the side effects of Effexor or experiencing a lack of efficacy of the medication may not have been informed of safer alternatives. It is well-established that SNRI antidepressants like Effexor can cause side effects that outweigh the benefits of continuing to take them.

Common Side Effects During Venlafaxine Titration
Venlafaxine is associated with many side effects which can start to emerge during the period of time taking the drug.
These can be found and explored more extensively in several informative articles that can be found on our site. But here, we want to focus on the side effects when a person begins to withdraw from venlafaxine. These reactions can emerge when a person either misses a dose, including being late by a few hours, or when a person is trying to withdraw from venlafaxine, even when venlafaxine tapering is being done gradually. It is often the sudden change that is associated with intense withdrawals during venlafaxine tapering. Venlafaxine tapering should be done under medical oversight and very gradually.

Each person is a unique individual, and naturally, some people will react to withdrawal from venlafaxine differently than others. However, there are some symptoms that appear to be statistically common to many, when large numbers of consumers are surveyed. These include a sensation often referred to as “brain zaps,” shivers, or electric shocks through the head area. Commonly, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and dizziness accompany the brain zaps. These sensations can be quite severe and as they can come on randomly, suddenly, and can persist for a time, brain zaps can be very unsettling.

The withdrawal effects that occur when stopping a serotonin-norepinephrine re-uptake inhibiting drug like Effexor can be daunting, and one should never stop taking this drug abruptly. However, with guidance, a person can gradually come off the drug safely and may benefit by transitioning to Effexor alternatives. Based on our research and direct clinical experience, we know other possibilities exist besides living a lifetime medicated on antidepressant drugs.

Do you wish to start living life in a way that resembles your desired self without Effexor side effects?

In many cases, Effexor may not adequately treat symptoms. Effexor (venlafaxine) has a very short half-life, approximately 5 hours. This means a late or missed dose can cause grievous problems, resulting in time lost at work, injuries and accidents, and other negative consequences. As mentioned above, serious harm to health can occur because of potentially life-threatening Effexor side effects that many persons experience.4 For all of these reasons, one may begin to consider safe and effective Effexor alternatives for improvements in mental wellness.

The bottom line is if this antidepressant medication is not working as it should or if you are experiencing unwanted side effects, talk with your doctor, and talk to us, about alternatives to Effexor.
