I'm down to 37.5mg of Effexor XR now. Tomorrow will be the 3rd day at this dose. I'm not really having any bad side effects. Yesterday was the most annoying. I would get dizzy spells while driving. I would also experience a heavy sensation in my chest. When these symptoms occur, I just take a deep breath and try to relax and it passes. Up to this point it hasn't been bad at all and I've not felt I needed to begin the SJW yet. I do realize by all that I've read, the bad withdrawl effects don't begin until you start going below 37.5mg. I do intend to take it if I am having a difficult time coping with the withdrawl. In the end I do plan on starting SJW once the Effexor is over.
