Hello @suzannetherese
I took 150 mg Effexor for 33 years. It was my last drug to wean myself off of.
Worse one to get off also.
Now you are on double what I was. Be careful. Why? Cuz I had a stroke from getting off it. I did not do my homework. I just took 150 mg when the symptoms got to bad. Do not do this.
Now if you follow what folks are saying, you will be fine, if you do your homework and get to reading.
Feel free to click on my name and read my posts. Lots of suggestions in it for me and for you too.
Now I have completely recovered from my stroke cuz I never take no for an answer.
Follow me or not, your choice.
I was trying to post this all day yesterday but had no signal cuz of weather.
Keep coming back because we care.

I’m not sure how this group connection works . I am new at this and really like to keep in touch with all of you. Don’t hesitate to provide me with your knowledge and please forgive my grammar as English is not my primary language. Sending all strong positive energy.
