Alan, that site I mentioned has a lot of really good info in it. According to that and other info I've gathered, it all depends on how long you were taking it and how slowly/quickly you withdrew it from your system.
I'm going pretty slow but steadily downward and feel good. Today I haven't taken anything, felt a little off-kilter walking to the bus, but I'm going to see how it goes. I brought a very small amount (a tad less than yesterday which was less than a 1/4) just in case I feel too uncomfortable. I'm trying to avoid all that pain!!!!!
Are you taking any other meds? I'm wondering because when I stopped the depakote, I felt side effects of effexor like when I first started it, then when I decreased it, I started feeling better. I guess I REALLY don't need it anymore!!! Maybe some of what you're feeling is due to other meds you're on?
