Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

When my doctor told me to cut back on the 75 milligram capsule and go down to 37.7 milligram capsule I think he thought it would be easy for me. I think it was because I had done it before but he forgot that I know before I was on Prozac too so that helped a lot. I don't know why I got back on the Effexor but I regret it to this day and now really need to get back off of it again. I've been on the Effexor XR and it's wrecked my blood pressure so need to get off it. I wonder if my doctor doesn't realize Prozac helps with the withdrawal.

The Effexor headaches started creeping up on me slowly they weren't so bad at first and the longer I just stayed on just the 37.5 milligrams of the Effexor XR they got worse and the last headache I had I just couldn't stand so I went back up to 75 milligrams.

Reading the comments on this forum and out on the great wide web, the NORM is most doctors don't know how to get folks off drugs.
