Hi, I have been totally off Effexor for 48 days and could not deal with how I was feeling, not knowing if this was going to be the forever me. I became highly agitated, had on going stomach & chest discomfort, sweating, no mojo and recluse. I decided to start back on Effexor with 37.5mg. It did not take long and my mood and other physical effects were gone. I’ll admit, I did skip a step when tapering off from 112mg to 75mg, then 0mg. But I did it and my doc and I decided I’m here now, so I will go for the gusto and ride this out. I lasted 48 days. My question is, how do I know if this is the real me (how I am wired) while not using this medication. I’m going to stay at this lower dose for a while, at least get through Christmas feeling relatively good. I’m meeting with my doctor after the holidays and can work out another plan. Has anyone micro-dosed from 37.5mg?
