i've read effexor is one the most effective antidepressants that is superior in some cases to SSRI's ... but i was reading effexor withdrawl is horrid.....it's because the nuerotransmitters that have been enhanced by effexor fade as it leaves the system
this is from wikipedia...
"During withdrawal from venlafaxine, the levels of both serotonin and norepinephrine decrease, rather than increase, and this would appear to rule out toxic (too high) levels of these neurotransmitters as a likely cause of the withdrawal symptoms. The withdrawal symptoms can be hypothesized to result from an overly rapid deprivation of neurotransmitter levels"so i think your ok because you on a low dose, it's higher doses that achieve maximum antidepressant effect, but also at maximum doses is when the withdrawl becomes horrid....be careful and work with your doctor on doses, or another antidepressant
not a genius but understand pain
