Quitting Effexor XR - and off of all other meds!

Hi all,
I'm coming off of effexor xr and frankly am scared about it. I take only 75mgs, and am glad it's a low dose as I'm sure it will be easier to handle than coming off of a higher dose. It's actually not that I'm scared of experiencing the withdrawal, more that I'm scared about not having it since I like it. It's done a good job of treating my depression. I'm also coming off of my other drugs too! And am glad about that totally. I've been reducing my trileptal and the lamictal will be the last thing to go. Hubbie and I are considering getting pregnant, which is why I'm coming off of the drugs. But frankly, I've never been convinced I was bipolar, and really think I just had problems with depression. So in a way, this is good because it will give me a clean start.

For those of you who have gone through this, please share your thoughts. Even better if you've come off of other drugs at the same time. How long did it take you to feel better?
Thanks,
STarlight
