> I think I just hit the wall. I took this nasty down-swing in mood yesterday, just like LAST time there were nasty thunderstorms headed our way. But this time I can't get back to normal. I'm just...horrible, in an awful sad mood and I just wanna sleep til ...forever. I dragged myself out and bought St Johns Wort and Evening Primrose Oil hoping to feel better in time to enjoy a little of this 3day wkend, but I think I may have hit the Wall...the Wall between being ON Effexor and NOT on Effexor. My teeth are tingling. :/

Hello! I am on Effexor and have heard horror stories about coming off of it. I am scared!!! I am on XR 225mg. I feel great! I have energy and my moods are even. What dose were you on?? I am so scared to come off of it. Did you wean slowly??
