I've been off Effexor for a week. I'm so hungry all the time. I'm very weepy. I tapered off but maybe not slowly enough. Just over a week I went from 150mg to 75mg to 37mg to 18mg. My phychiatrist told me to take 75 mg for 5 days and then quit. But after the 5th day I had to halve the tablets for a few days, and finally quarter them for a few days.

I know the hunger pains come from tapering off Effexor. Luckily my anxiety has lessened somewhat.

Anybody else get the hunger munchies from coming off Effexor?
