Hi, @mukmuk. Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It sounds as though you've had a lot of physical and emotional experiences in your taper off venlafaxine (Effexor).
Has your doctor had any input on the effects you've undergone so far? If so, what did the doctor suggest?

My Doc did not speak about how to deal with my physical and mental side effects. We did talk about remaining on the course I’m on right now ( no medication now for 2 1/2 weeks) to see how I manage. If at some point I just don’t seem to be feeling better, then, I could try the lowest dose of 37.5mg every other day and see what this does for me. Yes, it’s so different for everyone so no perfect way to do this.
