Jumping into the discussion is the best way to go, I think. "Scott" seems to know a lot about how the benedryl and other things work to help with withdrawal. I'm waiting for a reply from him for the same question.
I'm down to about 3/4 of a 75mg per day and have been breaking the capsules and dividing out into 4 piles and taking them at intervals as Scott suggested.
Do you have any tingling/numbness in your tongue/fingers/etc? Anybody?? Could it be the anxiety reemerging or is it a side effect of the drug or withdrawing from the drug.
Food doesn't have much taste. For the first time ever I'm having a difficult time maintaining my weight and I am suspecting the Effexor is the culprit - I am maintaining at about 10+ lbs over what my ideal weight is, and I feel that my activity level is about the same. At first I was experiencing constipation but am taking some Chinese herbs to combat that and taking some Mg supplement which helps also.
