I know, it's shitty feeling like this :(
I talked to my doctor yesterday about how I was going to be while tapering off later and she said I would have no problem, that it is not addictive and while you do have taper off slowly, there shouldn't be any problems. Well from what I have read here it sounds crazy, I don't have a lot of side-effects from taking effexor xr but it just seems that I have a good week or two and then slip back into major depression and I have to increase just to get to a good week and then I go back down. I have been on AD for almost 9 months now and it's still so hard to be optomistic when I keep slipping back further. I too was almost put into emergency care last week after a suicide attempt, so I had to move and be baby-sat as well!What are you taking now?
I am still on 225mg of Effexor XR with 25mg of amitriptyline to help sleep.
