Are you on the XR? Can you try opening the capsules and SLOWLY tapering that way? (i.e dump 5 to 10 pellets every 3 to 4 weeks...yes, THAT slow, I'm NOT kidding). Put the capsule back together, and then be sure to wipe the capsule with a dry cloth (something I didn't do but probably should have.) You need to do this VERY VERY VERY VERY slowly. If you went from 300 down to 37.5, that is way too fast in my opinion. Also, don't crush the pellets in the effexor capsule or anything. I'm not a doctor, but I tihnk this may help. Double chekc on this with your doc to see what he or she thinks. best of luck to you.
