I see your post is from 5 yrs ago so hope you still check in. I have only taken 37.5xl 6 times and I want off of it. I have been reading all these posts as my Dr. is out of town and my plan is to take 1/2 the capsule and see how that goes.

I wish you the best on getting off this medication. I was on it for 13 years. The withdrawal symptoms from it are awful. Crying a lot , moody, extremely agitated. Headaches , not to mention Brain Zaps. I took 2 Benedryl daily until the brain zaps were much better.,Today is one month without Effexor . I’m feeling like myself other than the headaches .
