ive been taking 225mg of effexor xr for about a year now, and im trying to get off of it. so far it has been hell. i tried to decrease my dose to 150, but i couldnt do it. its too much of a decrease. i couldnt even get out of bed.
i had to go back to 225mg. i told my dr. i was haveing trouble, so he me gave 37.5mg pills.
so i decreased my dosage by 37.5 mg. i tried it for a week, i ended up in the emergency room, because i thought i was going die.
so they upped my dose again and im back at 225 mg.
i dont know what to do now.
37.5mg is the lowest dose they have. but its not low enough.
how can i get off this med, without losing my mind?
