Hi Jenny,
You and I are on the EXACT schedule. I was at 150mg dropped 112.5mg for a week then at 75mg for a week, then at 37.5 for a week. Two days ago I completely quit and the electrical things are just getting worse, so much that today I took 37.5 again. It's also now taking me a good two three hours to fall asleep! I will maybe take this every two days for the next week and try tapering from here. This really is a nightmare, no one warned me going on this. I have been on Effex. since Sept. and have been transitioning to Zoloft in the past month as well. Let's keep in touch with our simulataneous withdrawal and see if we can't just support each other if nothing else!
