so i am sad to report the stepdown did not go well. first sign of trouble was i started waking up early again after two days of 1/2 dose, then saturday was supposed to be no dose and that went horribly, so ive gone back to the .5 mg 2x day as i was doing, seeing my psych on wednesday. just trying to regain my footing now and get back to feeling as ok as i felt before attempting the stepdown. its discouraging and i am just so conflicted and confused about this med. i was hoping that my stepup to 150mg on effexor would be enough but its clear at least at this point it isnt (been on 75 mg effexor 3 weeks, 150mg plus 1 mg klonopin 3 weeks). the 3 weeks on 150mg effexor plus klonopin felt near normal, then guilt and impatience set in and now ive had a setback. makes me very sad and worried.
