How to Take Effexor XR With a Total Body Cleanse
A total body cleanse, sometimes referred to as a fast, purifies your body of toxins by filling up on juice and water for a couple of days. Some choose to detox after a winter of overindulgence, while others look to it as a spiritual experience. Whatever your reasons, be sure to consult your doctor if you are undertaking a body cleansing system, especially if you are taking the antidepressant Effexor XR. Digestive side effects already associated with Effexor XR may be agitated by a total body cleanse, and some products simply won̵7;t be compatible with the antidepressant.Things You'll Need
- Juices
- Herbal Supplements (optional)
- Detox solution (optional)
- Multivitamin
- Brown rice and/or miso soup
- Raw vegetables, including salad greens
Instructions
How to Cleanse While Taking Effexor XR
Consult your doctor if you are considering a detoxifying product, such as an herbal supplement or anything that claims to detox or speed up your metabolism. Many of these products may not work well with Effexor XR.
Shop around for clean food, such as fruit and vegetable juices, miso soup, raw vegetables and brown rice. Also consider a multivitamin to ensure you̵7;re getting your daily required nutrients during the cleanse.
Follow a menu heavy in juice and light in anything else. A sample menu may include a green salad the night before the cleanse, juices high in Vitamin C for breakfast, and juice every two hours throughout the day. For dinner, you may have your choice of miso soup or brown rice with raw vegetables.
Fill up on juice before taking Effexor XR, as the antidepressant isn̵7;t supposed to be consumed on an empty stomach. Continue taking Effexor XR as normal, as an abrupt halting of the medication can cause serious side effects.
Find an appropriate time to conclude your cleanse. This type of diet isn't meant to be sustained for the long term. A weekend is a good amount of time for the novice, while experienced fasters have been known to cleanse for up to a week.
