Currently coming off effexor as well... the highest point i got to was 225 and Im down to three 37.5 mg pills now... and having major zaps and nauseau and loads of the rest of the side efffects. Its taken me almost two months at a time just to drop 37.5 at a time. ITs a slow, arduous process.

The sad thing is that effexor REALLY helped with my severe panic attacks, but I got next to no sleep on it, and at high doses it was making me almost manic or totally numbed out and fatigued... I would switch moods so fast I could barely keep track.

The plan is to get off this one and try something less...well less harsh.

One day at a time I guess.
