So happy to hear these upbeat experiences!
I was taking Effexor for over 15 years(mostly 225mg daily) and it was rock solid. However, I just went through almost a year of weaning off of it...stopping completely in January. So many factors led me to another relapse recently and now I am titrating back on Effexor(Ven)...currently up to 112.5 daily.
I won't lie. I am really white knuckling it right now...desperately hoping that my body will respond to it favorably again!
