Dizzie-
I think smaller doses is better than increasing the time between doses. It was suggested to decrease your dose so that the symptoms start in about 6-8 hours (who knows what the "right" answer is - just experiment and see what works best for you).
Again, I found no benefit to enduring the symptoms for any period of time - just take some small dose whenever the symptoms start, and keep decreasing the dosage. Benadryl did help with the brain zaps, but I didn't use it until after I was off the Effexor.
Good luck
