> > > The way I was able to do it was as follows: I was on 75.mg for 1 yr. when I decided to quit because of the side effects. I went to 37.5 for 10 days. 18.75 for 5 days, 9.375 for 5 days. 4.68 for 5 days, then i went off the drug. It has been 12 days and I feel great. I opened the capsules and divided the contents as previously suggested by some of these posts. I want to thank you all because IAM NOW EFFEXOR FREE and I did not have to go to another drug to help withdrawl from this horrible drug.

Iam glad you are doing well. I also had a few side effects for a couple of days after I decreased my dose. Thankfully they were tolerable. I still feel a little fuzzy and have not lost any of the weight but hopefully this will change. It amazes me how a drug that seemed to work fine in the begining could all of a sudden have all of these wiered side effects. I am glad the effexor is working fine for other people on this site but iam glad to be off with the side effects of just feeling a little fuzzy and fat.goofy
