Just a note about withdrawing from Effexor. I had similiar problems going through withdrawal. Had the dizziness, buzzing in my head, zoning in and out and crying uncontrollably. I was on 150 MGs a day, then declined to 75mgs a day for about 2 weeks. I then went down to 37.5 per day for approx. 3 weeks. Next I went to the 25 mg of regular Effexor, not the SR. I did this for about 10 days. Then I cut the 25 tablet in half and took aprox. 12.5 for a week. After that I cut the half in half for a few days. I literally took a few crumbs the last day. The following couple of days were a little wobbly but nothing compared to how I felt when I went straight off of the 37.5. It's been a about 2 weeks now and I feel great. I'm still taking Wellbutrin. Anyway, I hope this withdrawal pattern helps those that are struggling. Best Wishes. Julie K.
