Dear Margie~
Your symptoms do seem like what happens when you miss a dosage of Effexor, but ofcourse discuss this with your Dr.to be sure.
Remember, the key factor to minimize any withdrawl effects, is to take it very slowly,and possibly augment with another med. if you need to.... if you do make the decision to come off the med. completely.
Because Effexor does have a short half life, it's not unusual to feel the symptoms that you're feeling, if you miss a dose or are late in taking the med.
Best wishes to you...It can be done Margie, and by following some simple steps, the withdrawl can be made much easier.
Hugs, Faith~
