I have been on Effexor XR 225 mg. since 2000. A few months ago I tapered my dose down to 37.5 mg. daily and sunk into a deep, deep depression. Once I got back to 150 mg. I had a 100% improvement and then climbed back to 225 mg. I also started restarted Lamictal (now at 50 mg) as a mood stabilizer. So far so good.

I tapered down to 37.5 mg. of Effexor because I felt I no longer needed to be on anti-depressants and did not like the sexual side effects. I'll take the sexual side effects over the incapacitating depression. :) AnneL
