sadly no, I have been off it 8 days now. I guess I am just surprised as I thought I was over the worst. I had the most awful discontinuation syndrome reducing from 75 to 37.5 but it also was sending me into rapid cycling episodes.I got through that and started to taper the lower doses as the symtoms disappeared. My Pdoc feels this will be better for me long term as the rapid cycling is exhausting me and the sooner we can get the effexor out the better so we can adjust.

I just really really thought the worst was over, I guess after a week of being great to be knocked back again out of nowhere has floored me
