Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

@searchgirl I'm not out of the woods yet, but I can say that one thing I have noticed since tapering down from 225 mg, at 150 mg and then 75 I have had less fatigue. This makes me wonder if effexor was causing the fatigue. I guess time will tell. When i have my windows i feel great.

I have NO DOUBT Effexor causes a lot of my fatigue. I feel like I'm emerging from fog.

Yeah, I’ve often wondered about some symptoms coming from this drug. One of the reasons I started this is I was having crying jags, confusion, and I started getting anger episodes for reasons I could not explain. It was then was certain the drug wasn’t working again and my doc was going to raise it again. I’m fresh in retirement, so I decided to taper it out of my life. Little did I know the complexity of this process. This place rocks!! I’m feeling more confident coming here for help. I’m flip flopping around methods before I start my long journey and I’m getting close!!
