That would be hard to have to quit. I'm worried about going back to school that I won't be able to read, learn and rememeber.I don't know that flexible dose tapering would work. I know exactly what you mean about going by "feel". I kept minimizing and minimizing until I was off totally....didnt' do it exactly like you did though. It seems like it would do this to me no matter what.
Yesterday, went to the doctor to have them give me a shot of phenagran (<--sp?) to help me stop vomiting. Was fine the previous day, then the next I got up and just kept getting sick (No pregnancy). It seems so unlikely that the Effexor withdrawal-like symptoms would be going out close to 6 weeks, but I don't know what else would be causing it. I feel the same as I did when I was going on week 2 off EFFEXOR. Anytime I stopped EFFEXOR I felt this type of lousy.
Nothing else is going on with me aside from being off EFFEXOR. That is the only change.
Don't know. Shouldn't totally blame the EFFEXOR, I just assume it's that because since I've been off, I've felt lousy.
