I was on Effexor for 7 years, no one advised me to taper off slowly, and after a 4 day tapering off I was left with high blood pressure, chronic pain, and lack of concentration and confusion 2 years later. Nothing seems to have returned my ability to concentrate.

I am not a physician or psychiatrist but if I were having your symptoms...Have you talked to your dr or perhaps get a second opinion for an alternative medication to help alleviate your symptoms. Or going back on a low dose and then stepping down.
