Amanda I loved your comment about your pdoc and effexor rep, It made me laugh out loud. I have just gone from 150mg of effexor xr to 75mg quite smoothly but in response to the brain zaps that I got from coming off 300mg of Luvox cold turkey well, I felt like someone had hot wired my head into an electrical socket that was set to 30 second intervals. Then I was left reeling with the head turning feeling for 30 secs before the next one hit. Kimbersaur, just taper really slowly because I didn't have the chance when I switched from Luvox to Effexor because I had to have a 4 day clean out period. I'm an Aussie and I think my doc was taken to Fiji by the Luvox rep. He switched my drugs and was then unavailable for 6 weeks before I could have a go at him about the hell I went through. Just remember that tapering is the key. I was told that I would be JUST FINE.
