I think you will be having the withdrawal symptoms for about a month after you get the dose to 0 mg. I stepped down from 225 to 150 to 75 to 0. I'm about a week at 0 now and still am getting emotional upheavals and some mild shocks. But, God, it feels good to feel my skin again (it was numb) and to have some depth of feeling. I was loosing my compassion. Good luck to you, I think you can make it through the worst witdrawals. Effexor is right up there with Paxil for horrible withdrawal symptoms. Did you get the horrible nightmares too?
