> hello, after about six months on 75/day, I want to come off it. I'm seeing the doc tomorrow, and I would really like help in deciding what withdrawal/tapering programme people have found that works best. Please help....


My highest dosage was 367.5mg/day when I decided I wanted off of Effexor XR due to the side effects. My system is VERY sensitive to medication and dosage changes so I weaned off EXTREMELY slowly, doing only 37.5mg at a time and allowing my body to adjust for at least 2 weeks before the next decrease. One time I went down 75mg because I was anxious and went straight into withdrawal. ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE!!! I can not emphasize more that you need to do it S L O W!!! Good luck!!!
