Hey there, Damos! It's day 7 for me, and I'm happy to report that I am feeling like a million-freaking bucks today! For me I think that day 4 and 5 were the worst. Yesterday I had an angry Effexor headache, but by later in the afternoon I was feeling great and was even able to go the gym and have a wonderful workout.
I've got the dyslexia thing going on now, too, and having trouble communicating basic thoughts. My tongue has been tripping over itself or something. Oh yeah, almost forgot, the ol' short term memory is a bit fuzzy, too, but I can surely deal with that (compared to the other physical symptoms I was feeling, not remembering stuff is NUTHIN'!)
So, Damos, WOO-HOO! We're doing it! I'm down to taking 75mg/day now and during the bad days I remember thinking NO WAY was I going to taper down again right away, it just seemed sooooo painful. But man, I have a total restored sense of hope now. Tapering sucked SOOOO bad, but I know I can do it again. I have a one month supply of the meds (minus now the 7 pills I have taken), and if all stays okay I'm gonna drop down again!! (like you, I am a little worried I've jinxed myself.....) I'll keep you and everyone posted on how I'm doing.
Take care, everyone! And keep the hope alive!!!! We CAN do this!
