Thanks, everyone. I am not done with it all yet. Apparently I am not going to get off without some hitch along the way.

3 nights ago, I had my very last dose of Effexor ( at a very small amount). But since then, it's been nothing but terrible intestinal distress (pardon the frankness---it's been almost non-stop diarrhea), along with some powerful headaches, and awful muscle aches.

This last step is the worst. Immodium and Tylenol are now my best friends.

Let's hope this works itself out, soon!
