I have recently (4-1/2 weeks ago) cut Effexor in half to 37 mg. Only had a slight moment or two of the zappy thing in the head. 6-22 I cut Depakote in half (to 125 mg) for a week and haven't taken it since. I feel so much better. clear headed. My therapist never agreed with the bipolar diag. I had been taking Depakote 2 years, low dose and have been taking Effexor 1-1/2 years almost. I am terrified of having those withdrawals I've been reading about.
To those who got off, while cutting down, did you have symptoms, or was it just the final cut off that hurt?
AND Does anyone know the half life of Depakote? I can't find it anywhere. I'd like to know when I should expect to have it out of my system before stopping the Effexor.
Please, please, some advise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
