> I was on Effexor for 4 years. I had gotten up to 225mg when we decided to get off. dropped to 150 for 2 weeks then to 75 for 2 weeks then 37.5 for 2 weeks the o. Used Dramemine and Benedryl to keep me from being too sea sick. Good luck. I can feel again. Danny
Danny, how long have you been drug free now?....please let me knowyour withdrawal sounds pretty quick, I've always been advised to dose down much slower than what you describe. I was taking 75mg twice a day, but feeling a little too aggressive and being irresponsible, now taking 37.5mg kind of sporadically, try to take 2 per day.
and my dreams are something else, but doesn't seem to make a difference when I take meds
anyway, withdrawing completely makes me nervous, I've rebounded too much in the past, but sounds like it's worked for you.
