I started reducing my dose last week. I went from 150 to 75. I've noticed I have brain shivers (not bad) and I'm very irritable. I've also noticed the neck and hip pain as well as the vaginites has lessoned. I'm going to stay at this dose until I go see my doctor in a couple of weeks. Hopefully he will give Wellbutrin and a script for Effexor 37.5.
so every few days i dropped drasticlly. till i reached 75. i stayed put at 75 till i was used to it ( 1 weak) and then went down to 35.5.
