> I started reducing from 300mg Effexor XR and had NO withdrawals at 225mg but has some slight nausea and head rush at 150mg. I've now been on 150mg for 1 month and plan on decreasing to 112.5mg soon.

Jocor,
I have also decreased my dose of Effexor XR from 300mg to 225mg and was just WAITING for some kind of withdrawal, but I have had NONE...but my doctor has added Wellbutrin SR 100mg 2x a day, which will help with my withdrawal. They have a very similiar chemistry. I will decrease by 37.5mg instead of 75mg to get to 150mg. I guess the transition was not too bad for you, huh??

I dont think I will completely go off of Effexor, but I want to reach the lowest dose possible with the Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin does not have much action with serotonin, whereas Effexor does. BTW, I love the Wellbutrin because it gives me energy, decreases my appetite, and helps augment the sexual side effects of the Effexor!!!

Just my 2 cents
Debbie
