You already know this, so I'm really just reminding you and reassuring you. You don't need someone else to tell you the answer.
When you took Effexor before, it worked for you. There's every chance that it will work for you again. Take the whole 37.5mg to start with -- that's a very low dose, you know. If it gives you some adjustment problems, remember that they're *adjustment* problems. They will go away -- but only if you give them the chance to go away.
Here's your choice right now: give Effexor an honest chance to work for you again, or continue to feel like [unacceptable word deleted] until you can give a med a chance to work. That's about it. An honest chance means that you put up with a few nasties for a few days or even a week or so. No, not pleasant. Just necessary if you want relief.
I'm in a similar boat, kiddo, and hating the ['nother word deleted] out of it. I'm also still taking the stuff daily -- despite really wanting to quit. If I can do it, you can do it. Just think of having someone else suffering along with you, half a world away.
Give it your best shot and best luck.
