In reply to go figure! another effexor question, posted by bart on February 27, 2005, at 14:29:58
> Has anyone tried deliberately cutting back on effexor or stopping all together only to find that giving in and taking your full dose a few days after dealing with it was the best idea you ever had!?
> I find that by trying to manipulate the varying levels of this drug in my system, I become a slave to being preoccupied when and how I'm going to do this from day to day. It's like I'm dealing with physical dependence like an opiate or something, except it is not a narcoticHi,
I have done the exact same thing with Remeron which is similar. It's as if I forget how much the drug helps me at least twice a year. I cut back to 7.5mg from 15mg, feel great for a few days, get to zero and after about 10 days say to myself "why did I ever cut back" and resume again with 15mg. Remeron genuinely helps and causes no adverse effects for me but, like I said, every six months and.... Good Luck. JN
