Remember in that first post when I said "I dont recommend anyone else doing this"?
Let me be the first to repeat myself.
I still recommend that no one does it cold turkey. Work out a schedule and taper it, again, just my opinion.
The Lamictal w/d was no problem. Dangerous yes, problematic for me, no.
The Effexor however, has proven to be a pain in the *ss. If I had a week without work, I wouldn't worry with it. The first 48 hours were no serious problem. I'm gonna keep this short. There is no way in hell I was coming into work today without taking an effexor. It was not a question of desire, it was not physically possible. Vertigo was still out of control, and that was making me violently ill. I couldn't stay on my feet long enough to walk anywhere. So, I popped 1/2 of my previous daily dose. Guess what.. I can walk and function again. The time off from work was too costly to continue my little experiment, so I suppose I will taper off now. Disappointed that I didnt hang in here longer, but I just have to much to do other than spend my day laying on my *ss so I dont throw up.
