Well, at least the lamictal is not a problem for you!! And am glad for that. As for the effexor, at least you know that you gave it your best effort!!!
For some people it is not a problem....but tritrating down seems that it will work for you - which you have seen to be the case. Maybe if you gave yourself more time on your current regimen, you could then stop the effexor - possibly letting your body get used to not having the lacmital, then working on completely stopping the effexor. At times, though frustrated, I found that I just had to have patience! Whole lot better than feeling very ill!!!! Sometimes I had to go two weeks at a particular dose, even though one week was recommended. Everyone is different, so I just listened to my body....
Again, keep us posted, so that we may know how you are doing!
