I would have to agree with you. I experienced depression and agitation, but I would expect that withdrawing from any SSRI. Especially if you have a Seratonin imbalance to start with.
> Yep. nothing in the way of physical side effects. that made me very surprised. I went from 150 to 75 in one week and nothing then 75 to 0 overnight and started zoloft 25mg which may have helped. but for me effexor withdrawal is highly overrated

I did taper down though, from 37.5 each day to every other day to every other day, etc. Has anyone else had minimal withdrawal symptoms?
