The last time I tried Effexor (on its own) and was taken off it, I experienced no ill effects whatsoever. I'm also glad to be getting rid of the nightmares.

I felt like that. I had to go off because I "went toxic" although I didn't feel sick. The dose wasn't high enough to have any beneficial effects, but it was enough for me to balloon up 30 lbs, that I am still dragging around.
I understand Remeron causes weight gain, too. I'm going to be huge.
Thanks for all your help. The "bell curve" image helped make sense of that dosage thing.
