Yes, this way of tapering makes the most sense to me. I'm willing to try it starting tomorrow since I took 75mg this late am. Only trouble is that I feel like the effexor itself is causing some uncomfortable symptoms like the body ache and insomnia but maybe by doing this I can better tell what is caused by the drug and what is withdrawal. I just saw my counselor and she concurs with this method of weaning and also is more inclined than my dr to believe that my symptoms are caused by the effexor and that I should be deligent to get off it.
Have you had any experience using herbal or alternative therapies for depression/anxiety? If so what? I want to be more educated about that although I will work with a naturopathic doctor to manage how much and what I can take. (If I need it!)
