Ritch,
Thanks for your response. I have tried a too fast taper (from 225 to 75 in 5 days - a mistake)
and a slow, precise one from 225 to 150 in 3 weeks. I experienced slurred speech, confusion and uncoordination. Thank God I did not get brain zaps or dizziness! But I was super stupid at work and I just couldn't take it any longer. The real question that begs asking and you can bet that my pdoc will ask me this when I see him on Nov. 12, is why do I feel the need to get off of Effexor? Why am I so resistant to being on medication? I really resent and feel angry that I do not have a choice at this point to stop medication and see where I'am at.
