After a feeling really good mentally, my doc and I have me coming off Effexor (slowly). Besides the venlafaxine, I also take Trintilix , lithium and Trazadone. The Trazadone is for sleep.

Because I was taking the extended release, she switched me to the immediate release. So instead of 300mg XR, I am taking 250mg immediate release twice a day. So far, my mood is good, but my headaches seem more frequent. My doc is also very good with follow ups, I am seeing her next week.

We will see what happens. My husband and two sisters know what is going on. That is a big help.
