As the title says I've been having days, since I tapered off Effexor, where I'm nauseous, cold as fuck, and I start feeling weak as hell. I was on Effexor for about 3 years before tapering off in a month and some days I'm glued to the bed. So far the only thing that helps with withdrawals is weed but I don't want more reasons to keep smoking. Is there any reason this could be happening and has anyone found ways to combat Effexor withdrawal?

I found these possible symptoms listed for withdrawal

Effexor XR withdrawal

Abruptly stopping treatment with Effexor XR can cause withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms can include:

anxiety
feeling agitated
confusion
flu-like symptoms
insomnia (trouble sleeping)
shakiness
diarrhea
nausea
vomiting
aggression or violent behavior*
suicidal thoughts*
vision changes*
increased blood pressure*

Since one of the effects when starting it is the possibility of increased bleeding, One might suspect that the drug also has a blood thinning component. It might be possible to duplicate the blood thinking with an aspirin or a supplement like fish oil

If your body got used to the thinner blood, it may take a while to adapt. You wouldn't want to take aspirin for too long as it can be rough on the stomach.
