> > Maria, I am also tapering off effexor. I have gone from 150mg to 75mg and now I am on 37.5mg. My doc told me to stay on this for two weeks and then skip a day for another week. I haven't felt any bad withdrawal effects either. I listened to what people had to say here and took it really slow.

Hey Renee, Nikki,IsoM, and everyone,
you have no idea how much I appreciate your positive posts! I had read so much that was negative about coming off Effexor XR. It frightened me and caused me such saddness, because of all the AD's I had ever been on, Effexor had done the trick for me better than any other. Had it not been for the weight gain I probably would have stayed on it.
I like the title of this thread "everyone is unique" and I am trying to remember that. It is just so good to know that I have companions in this healing proccess. And thanks to you Dr. Bob for providing this site for us. Keep the support coming -- I have just begun to taper! Maria
