In reply to A POSITIVE EFFEXOR XR EXPERIENCE~, posted by FaithT on January 24, 2005, at 4:53:08
Thought I'd give an update on this site to for todays success: (can go to my thread renee tapering off effexor for full 33 days of journaling) Dont be afraid, when/if you are ready to go off effexor, it can be done.
Day 33 – Wednesday – decided to not take effexor today. I did pretty good. The brain zaps sure were active most of the day, had some nausea, loss of appetite later in early afternoon, took two klonopin today and that seemed to take the edge off for potential anxiousness. No major mood issues. Pretty stable considering its my first two day in a row with no effexor success! Its 11:30pm and still having brain zaps, but ya know what, I can deal with it. Im a happy camper today. Throughout this process, especially reaching the lower doses, I have had times when I felt spacey, unable to focus or concentrate for periods of time. More clumsy perhaps. But I say its still all good because Im not in hell and God is good! Renee p.s thanks to everyone who has supported me during this process.
