Oh, of course. Did all of that, thanks. Low dose made me so nauseous, I couldn't eat, then made headaches worse. I am a retired PhD biologist, so I should have put 2&2 together and figured it was the Effexor withdrawal...but I was not thinking along those lines. Now I have my primary care doctor, an internist, a psychiatrist, and a therapist. But my main complaint has always been Status migrainosus, with which I'm still dealing.
