Hi Organic...
Remember to save all, dont dump any out. Also ,Petrilla, If you have 150's you have alot to spare and streach out.
Anyway, in other threads I have given more info under Jubilee, , but i feel if one is not prepared you must outsmart the doc. Maybe go back on and get 2 months of 150's 2 a day and stay at low dose. When you go off make sure you have enough to go 4 or 5 months. Ask for a month of prozac to help with withdrawels . Tell them you get headaches, because you do ,as it messes up your hystamine levels and you need a anti-hystamine spray for expected headaches you learned about on the internet.. Takes headaches right away! If you are on 150 or more ask to go to 37's to go down slow or wait till youv'e gotten 2 orders of 150's. Next month ask for 37.5's for a month or two and thank them. I found at 52 years old that you can't trust Dr's and they play God not really understanding or they would never put people on this drug. . I really feel that God gave me this wisdom. I was on 150's -2 a day, and dropped myself down and saved all I poured out. I got ahold of two bottles of 37'5's as I had an old refil and dr gave me a new dosing of the same. I measured two 37's in a large 150 half cap and drew a black felt tip pen line for my 75mg measurment. Then I measured a 37.5 into my large cap and drew another line. All I saved in the bottle I measure into my big red cap and hold under a lamp to see measurment shadow.. Where it says 150 on red cap, exactly, is a 75mg. A 37.5 is less than half of that to my surprise. So it added an extra level drop for me which was good. Did have side affects! I know this sounds confusing, but I really want to help people and God has been way too good to me not to do so. He gave me the 60 prozac because my doc wanted me to go from 300mgs to some 37's in one month and just take a bunch of prozac and I would have died and have also gone through the side affects of prozac!!!. I would have been very sick. If you can get a full bottle of 150's at 2 a day say because you can't take the depression anymore, and they love to give pills , except when you could die it seems, so you have a good start. Go down immediatly from 300 to 150 for 3 weeks as a big drop isnt too bad.Start to Take twice a day when as you lower dose going off and do an am dose and a pm dose because of short half life ,whatever that means. Save all pebbles in a bottle. After 3 weeks I went down to an estamated 50mg- 2 times a day for 3 weeks. Then ,I went to an am 50mg, which was a real 75 at the top of the written 10 on the red cap in the am and a exact 37.5 in the pm, which was a real small amount, and I felt that!. ( which is less than a half a red cap amount under where the 150 is written on the cap.!) In 3 more weeks I am going to 2-37.5's for 3 weeks and taking prozak and nose spray my first 5 days. My sleep is a mess like everybody mentioned. ! an hour feels like 6 . I have no nightmares or dizzyness or flue symptoms. Some hot and cold flashes at first , but stuff I can handle , I expect it to get worse as the more effexor leaves my system on the really small doses i'm sure the tougher it gets because our bodies have to start producing two drugs that only effexor provides, thats why you can't replace it. Seritonin and the other one.. .
I feel The truth is...if you dont have enough to go off over 4 or 5 months , then you are not ready to go off effexor and tell your doc that you changed your mind. Asking for something for insomnia or nerveousness , agitation ,anxioty and hypermania that effexor is proven to cause is a good idea too and take xanex or klonipin , which I was already on for insomnia and agitation from effexor and hypermania. Make sure you save 7 days of prozac for when you are finally off all effexor as I have been taught. For new side affect info on the effexor petition web site that address is http://www.petitiononline.com/effexor/ as I had every serious affect except the high blood presure .Ruined my vision!
Best drug for me for anxiety has also been Phil. in the bible, 4:6-8. God bless my friends, Jubilee
