In reply to Effexor XR Question..., posted by lnldy on November 7, 2003, at 22:14:56

Hi, and welcome to the board!!! :-)

37.5mg of Effexor XR is a very low dose. I would venture a guess that withdrawal effects discontuing that dosage are less likely to be unbearable than say, 200mg or 300mg, but everyone's 'systems' are different.
I hope you can talk to your prescribing physician about what you're feeling, maybe he/she can give you alternatives or a 'pep-talk', so you can choose what is right for you at this time.
I took Effexor XR for quite a long time. I was taking 75mg a day. I didn't start having withdrawals until after a month of discontinuing it, but I survived. I wish the best for you whatever you decide to do.
Take care,
Kristen
