I'm ok, not great, but physically good and I've been able to sleep. I am still sad and disappointed...relationship things. I guess everyone goes down that road. Thanks for asking.
To avoid the shocks, just taper the dose down slowly over a month. I've been taking Wellbutrin SR 100 mg/day now along with the Effexor XR 75 mg/day. If I take a drug holiday for 2-3 days I get wierd dreams. But when I reduced dosage from 225 mg to 150 mg, and from 150 mg to 75 mg, I was ok. I allowed a week to adjust at each point.
