low dose of effexor xr

Posted by ants on September 23, 2004, at 11:06:17

I just started effexor two days ago at 37.5mg with a target of only 75mg once a day. I am terrified of the impending withdrawal, as I don't plan to stay on effexor forever. Is any one else out there on a really low dose or has anyone been on a low dose and successfully quit it after some time? I am hoping that since it I am not on too much my withdrawal won't be as bad, but I don't know if that is really how it works. I am on it as a mood stabilizer, as I don't have severe depression, just irritable and moody with seemingly random crying spells.

I am also experimenting to see if being happier makes me able to come off of clonidine, which I take to control Tourette's symptoms, although clonidine seems like a much safer drug to be on!
