Hi Scott,
This is my first visit to Dr. Bob's, and fortunately for me, yours is the first thread I chose to read. I am withdrawing from Effexor and reached 150 mg./day (down from 300/day), doing well until BAM --two days ago I was hit with the nausea, flu-like symptoms, anxiety and severely depressed mood. I knew what had happened as I had experienced these symptoms once before when I went out of town and forgot my meds. That's why I decided to wean the drug--I didn't want to go through that every time I missed a couple of doses. My MD and I worked out a 5 week schedule which now seems a bit aggressive. Your divided dose method makes a great deal of sense to me and I believe I'll give it a try. I'll also try the Claritin and keep up the exercise. Thanks to all for your suggestions.
