All,
I started weaning myself off Effexor (75mg) on Jan 29th. I began by taking a capsule every other day instead of everyday. Then I began removing the pellets from inside the capsule (following the advice from Maisy who posts on this site), a few at first and then more and more (still taking it every other day). I am on my 3rd Effexor-free day. Zero fatigue, no headaches. The only adverse effects: My eyes aren't catching up with my head or vice versa, and I'm still dreaming crazy dreams. Otherwise I feel fine. I was only on Effexor for about 2 months so this might help when weaning. But for all of you trying to get off it, I did it real slow and I didn't need to go to the 37.5mg dosage. Good luck!
