You all have helped me so much..sharing our experiences,good and bad, concerning Effexor....
I had been on Paxil for 2 years, and did not like the side effects...was switched to Effexor, approx. 1 year ago. and was very
pleased with how I felt. I had only been taking the 75mg. dose, seemed
to be working fine. But many of the reasons I was 'depressed' had been
resolved (menopause, 3 life traumas in a short time, etc.), that I had
been asking the Dr. to get me weaned off this stuff! He advised every other
day dosage, then no more pills.....I have been having so many lousy
symtoms....dizzy, shakes, SPACEY , ear-ringing, etc.
I am determined to tough it out, and get 'myself' back again, but I am very appreciative of
finding the info you all have shared. I am trying the opening the capsules, and diminishing the dosage that way...thanks so much....
good luck to you all, too.
