Yay! Off EffexorXR successfully !!

Posted by Janelle on September 15, 2001, at 20:42:16

Finally, I am OFF EffexorXR, having tapered off very slowly. I was only "up" to 75 mg/day (more than that and I was too wired), then went down to 37.5 mg/day and remained on that for weeks. Yesterday saw pdoc and she said it would be okay to just stop the EffexorXR (not add any other SRI) because 37.5 mg/day is such a low dose, that going off that shouldn't have an adverse (withdrawal effect). Well, so far so good, and I feel confident it will remain so.

This is the FIRST time in YEARS that I will NOT be on an SRI a-d; pdoc is leery to put me on another SRI a-d (I've been on quite a few over time) because of mania problems; she also thinks Lamictal, Zyprexa and Klonopin may be "all" I need; time will tell.
