Sandi--Getting off Effexor is HARD! My last dose after tapering over two+ months from a 25mg tablet was 4/14/18--I still am struggling with the withdrawal effects!

You tried really hard. You figured out this attempt is not working. You've got a plan to deal with the now. You might try again later. "Better to have tried and failed, than never to have tried at all." Others on here have gone back to the drawing board; we're all trying to figure out how to get off this stuff. Hope you are feeling better soon.

How long were you on it and at what dose? Thanks.

Thank you. I feel so much better. I'm about 75% improved. Still less than a great day, few of which I had during the withdrawal. But so much better than the worst days. I'm on the 4th day of 150 mg and plan to stay here unless something changes.
