I was on effexor for about two months and didn't really like where I was with it. It definitely got me out of the deep depression but Ijust walked through my days with no emotion.
After reading all the horror stories on this site about people getting off I was very nervous, but also knew that i had to act asap.I slowly titrated down....probably a total time of 2 months to get off. In the end I was splitting the 37.5 into 4 for the last 2 weeks. Once in a while I will still get a brain shock but it will only last 3 seconds and then it's gone and that be the only one of the day.
You can get off it! Just don't rush it and keep splitting it and splitting it until you are taking nothing next to nothing. Good luck....oh yeah, i started taking wellbutrin at the time when i started to go down and i am still taking it.
