Today is my second day off Effexor. I had weaned down to 37.5 mg and had a few dizzy days at that drop and am feeling a little dizzy, heavy headed, but not too terribly bad so far. I did take Clarinex to try to offset the symptoms (because Benadryl causes drowsiness and Clarinex has a non-drowsy formula). Anyhoooo, I am on 150 mg twice a day of Wellbutrin and had been on it before. I like the Wellbutrin personally and feel like it helps my depression a lot.
As for weight loss, I haven't been trying and weighed myself this morning and have dropped 4 pounds since last week. I just haven't had as much of an appetite. I hope being completely off the Effexor will help the rest of my weight fall off. In spite of the yucky feeling I'm having from withdrawals, I'm VERY glad I've gone off Effexor!! (Now I hope my sex life returns too!)
