> No poop out - BUT - after years of being on it I started getting memory problems - cutting the dose didn't help - Ended up with a choice be happy and non functional or try a different med. Memory problems improved only after going below 25mg/day at which point depression also returned.
Paul - I addressed a post to you along another thread. It might be that your memory problems are a manifestation of a partial relapse of depression, and that raising the dosage up to a minimum of 150mg will resolve them. 75mg is a very, very low dosage. You really have nothing to lose, except for having to discontinue it again. Well, I guess that can be a significant consideration. How bad were your withdrawal symptoms?Cam - I wonder if using Zyprexa at dosages between 2.5mg - 5.0mg would help with SSRI / Effexor withdrawal syndrome.
Any thoughts on this?
