Help me figure out how to taper effexor!

Posted by april8 on April 24, 2004, at 13:49:32

I really need help I want to switch from effexor to 5 htp which is a herbal remedy? has anyone does this? if so PLEASE tell me how you did this.
I am currently on 225 of effexor a day so that is 3 pill of 75. Can someone help me figure out a taper? I have been trying to take 225 effexor one day and 300 5 htp the next, but am getting depressed. I don't mind physical withdrawal but for me the effexor withdrawal makes me suicidal, which I currently feel. My life seems like crap, my friends terrible, I have no family etc etc I just go down a spiral! help someone, I really need a way to taper off of this slower. So I was thinking one day 3 effexor the next day 2 effexor? and how long should I do that? and then what?
help help help. I can wait to take the 5 htp til after I am off if no-one knows how to taper and add it at the same time.
please help me I really need it. i feel like crying right now. today was my effexor day so hopefully this feeling will pass. but I realize I can't go every other day without wanting to die!
I hate this drug. I really do, I have been on ones in the past and NEVER had this suicical thing. this is the same thing that happened after Paxil, which was horrifying to me.
Help,
April
