> Yes I have had every test done including a Catscan for the headaches and memory loss I have experienced on the Lexapro. I am now on my 9th day of withdrawel and I forgot to take my half of dose last night because I feel asleep and today I feel a little sick to my stomach and light headed. Where are you in your withdrawel??

> Anxious babeHi,
My highest dose was 150mg Effexor XR - once a day.
I am currently at 37.50mg Effexor tablet - which I split in half, talking half in the morning and half at night.
My general practitioner originally had me withdrawing in half doses: 150 to 75 to 37.50 to nothing--my whole being went into shock! I had 98% of withdrawal symptons.
You can read how I've been tapering (I switched to a psychiatrist to monitor the medication and so far he has allowed me to set my own dosing and for how long--I just hope that lasts) at this website: http://www.mongan.com.au/effexorhell_forum/
My user name is ReadersLeaders, however for some reason I can't get into my account and now next to my postings it just says "Guest" The topic name where my tapering story is being recorded is under the title: "Weaning journey begins".
