hi, thanks for approaching healthcare magic team. Effexor should not be stopped suddenly. instead decrease the dose from 75 mg to 37.5 mg, every alternate day and then switch over to Prozac. you may have headache, dizziness, nausea and mood changes on sudden stoppage of Effexor. please get back for further queries.
