Renee, it seems from reading posts here and from this link, for example, that the longer people take Effexor and the higher the dose, the more likely they are to encounter problems with it.

It seems as though this is true with most drugs. That isn't such an unusual phenonenon. From what I understand, that is why most doctors like to start people on lower doses of drugs and increase the dosage slowly, to see how people react to them. People that only take Effexor for a short time don't seem to have much trouble when they stop taking Effexor.
I notice, Renee, that you are still taking Effexor. People don't have much trouble cutting back to 75mg, from what I understand, though I have noticed that you may not be feeling quite right. You are usually much more light-hearted. Are you still feeling all right? From what people on this board say, it isn't until you get to zero that you are in pain.
