Fellow exiles, I have been fairly rapidly tapering off Effexor from a high dose of 225mg which I took for 7 months. My depression has lifted, at least to the level that I can manage it with company from my Golden Retriever and a good glass of Cabernet. I quit taking 37.5 mg two days ago and have had a bad time with the "hippy hippy shakes"! I feel horrible and am ineffective. Who can advise on how long this will last? It is a lot easier to gut through when the end is in sight.
Peace and compassion to all my fellow suffers.
