Yes, I was having ideation and severely depressed due to Effexor, so my p-doc wanted me to come off of it and I'm doing it exactly as directed. 5 days on half the dose I was on before (75mg) and then nothing. It's being replaced with Lamictal as I'm recently diagnosed bipolar. So far I've had no noticeable side effects except for feeling a whole lot better! Thanks for your thoughts.
