> Thanks. How is day 13 faring?


Actually I think that the critical time period is when you've been below 37.5 mg for 3 days. I've been decreasing Effexor gradually but didn't really have any problems until going under 37.5 mg. and esp. now that I've gone from 19 mg. to 9 mg. and been there for 3 days. The extra anxiety that kicked in was unbelievable (for such a small decline in the medication). I hadn't expected that at all since I've had relatively few problems so far.

I am also thinking of starting Cymbalta. I think I may do so sooner rather than later so that I can minimize the rest of the Effexor withdrawal. I am curious to see how both of your withdrawal/switching over goes.
