> Well it's been a month and I am still weaning slowly off of the Effexor. I've been removing one little pellet a day, and today I took out 30 pellets from my XR. It may take 9 months for me to get off of this, but it seems to be the only way my body can handle it. I tried once to go off more quickly, and HOLY SH*T, it was a nightmare! Just wanted to check in with you all, and thank you for this board. I read it almost daily...
I have been on a decline in my dosage for about 5 weeks now. I was at 300mg a day. I alternated down by 37.5mg every other day for 2 weeks. Then after two weeks I went down by 37.5 to 262.5 mg a day for 2 weeks. Then I started to alternate down every other day to 225 mg. I am currently at that dose. I have found that smoking marijuana daily .Is keeping the headache's away and with help from the good Lord above I will beat this sh*t.
