I really appreciate this forum and I am very thankful I found it. I had pills in the house and took a 75mg capsule on Tuesday at 5 am. Before I took it I was in day 3 and I felt drunk, I stumbled around the house, nearly cried when I turned my head or got up, yelled at my girlfriend to please shut-up for a second, and cursed the day the doctor first suggested these pills. I had a doctor tell me that 75 mg of effexor does basically nothing and stopping after alternating (pill/no pill) for two weeks I should be fine. 75 mg is nothing, she is very wrong and I plan to take some threads with me on the 8th when I see her again. I am going to try the tapering thing, I can get one more refill of 75mg and I am going to ask for sample 37.5. I heard about putting the tiny grains in applesauce oe something and will try that instead of splitting capules, etc. Seems easier. What sucks is that this has affected my job and my boss had a talk with me yesterday and she says she noticed that I have not been myself lately. I have been a pain lately. I tend to be a bit long-winded so to sum up, I appreciate everyone responding, it is comforting to know that I am not alone and I can survive!
