General & Family Physician,  's  Response
dear patient i highly recommend you to first consult a psychiatrist before starting again effexor. These medications are not to be self prescribed by yourself whenever you want.you cannot increase or decrease or stop the medication without the consultation of a psychiatrist. Dont try to treat urself.Its very very dangerous.
