Hi Dotz here.
Am on Effexor XR 18 months at 375mg for severe depression and post herpetic neuralgia. In my treatment release plan my Psychiatrist recommended being on it until later 2006 early 2007.
Interestingly, the psychologist suggested tapering off taking nearly a year, keeping a very simple diet with exercise - additionally he suggested staying on a tiny dosage at the end for an indefinite time, says for two reasons,
1. tiny dosage will help if their is a recurrence.
2. Will help with transition to next generation of SNRIs which will be a lot safer.This guy is good, (the Psychologist) but the psychiatrist was usless.... my 2c...
