In reply to Effexor withdrawal - rebound depression, posted by cubic_me on June 6, 2005, at 12:39:19
> With my doc's agreement I've reduced from 150 to 75mg of Effexor over 2 months with only a few side effects (the usual head shocks etc, dizziness etc). However since going below 75mg I've been very depressed again, I had this with previous decreases in dose, but not this bad and I improved within a few days.

Don't be adamant as to conclude that this is merely a depressive rebound. You might be experiencing a relapse of depression. You still might need medication. My gut feeling is that you are relapsing. If your depression continues to get worse instead of better, that should rule out rebound.
