I am looking for some advice as I have been on Effexor for just about 2 weeks- 37.5mg. I hated the way it made me feel so my Dr. is putting me on Prozac instead. I was on Zoloft and loved it except for the fact that I had next to no sex drive which was causing issues in my relationship. I'm hoping that such a low dose for such a short amount of time means that weaning off of the Effexor won't be as awful as I've heard it can be but I'm having anxiety about it! The Dr. told me to take it every other day for a week and then switch over to the Prozac. Any suggestions? I'm mostly concerned because I'm in a wedding next weekend (8 days away) and don't want to be sick/ miserable for the whole wedding weekend! I did not take a pill last night and am dizzy tired and moody today- is this as bad as it'll get?! I've heard that switch to Prozac can help with withdrawal symptoms so I'm hoping that's true. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

After only two weeks it hasn't even started to work yet -- side effects start before effects. This will be easy. But do quit before you start the Prozac. Taper off if you feel the need.
