Hi there! Just wanted folks to know after 6 months of tapering from 225mg of Effexor (been on it since 2003) I just finished a wonderful day 2 of zero Effexor! I had some minor bumps- a little dizziness, very brief irritability session first thing this morning but overall great. Yesterday, day one at zero was a nightmare of rage and headaches, feeling like I wanted to crawl out of my skin etc. but today I felt more clear headed and happier than I have felt in well, I honestly don’t know how long!
To those of you who are in the process: hang in there! There may be bumps ahead for me in the coming days and weeks but I know that I will have a lot more days like today (and better) in my future!
Good luck.

Good for you! I am in the process of reading/ researching all the posts regarding weaning off Effexor. Forgive me if I missed your thread on who helped with the taper. Could a moderator plz guide me ?
