I’m still down to 37.5. I’ve never had a brain zap, by the way. I wonder why. Curious some get them and others don’t. Anyways I’m working on the mood side of life trying to understand why I’m depressed to begin with. It’s a slog. I want results and a clear path! So American of me. I hate the zombie thing though. I wonder if I could switch to something less zombie like without upsetting the apple cart. I usually have a very hard time taking new antidepressants. Nasty stuff. Or get down to a smaller dose. I’ll ask the doc how to split 37.5 in half without all of those tiny beads. I imagine it’ll be switching to regular Effexor and getting those little tablets.

Yes, definitely try the generic brand of Effexor, it’s called Venlafaxine, I believe mine is the extended release (XR). The white tablets have completely helped me! The lowest dosage is 37.5mg in pill form and then if you open it up it is by 12.5mg increments (white tablets)
