I'm in the process of reduction dosage of Effexor under the care of my Psychiatrist. I was on 225mg and have been reducing by 37.5mg each week. Now at 112.5mg and feeling the skin affects and powerful dreams that are borderline nightmares.
Anyone else who has these dreams?

What are you skin effects? Because last night I felt like something was biting me and I was itching all over. Day three of no Venlafaxine.

They just started for me -- but I've had them before when I missed a couple of doses. For me the dreams are kinda fun - and certainly crazy. I'm down to 37.5mg from 150 in 3 weeks....so I went almost 3 whole weeks before the dreams hit.
