Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 When I was up to 300 mg/day of Effexor XR and missed a dose, within a couple hours, I was getting " zinged. " If I didn't heed that warning and went for around 12 hours without taking that pill, I would start with the withdrawals. The first time I went without taking the pill for an entire day I wound up in the ER because I couldn't remember my name and my mouth was talking gibberish. I knew what I wanted to say, but all that came out were jumbled words (if that). Effexor is just plain scary as far as I'm concerned. I was one of the people for whom it worked wonders at first then " pooped " out. I'd never been suicidal before then. So yes, missing one dose can wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting patient. Shelli K.
