I just reduced to 10 balls of effexor from 75 mg without any problems other than returning to my grouchy old self like I was before. I went back to 37.5 and after taking it in the a.m. felt much better later that day. Going to see if 37.5 is going to do it for me. I hope your symptoms resolve but do find another doc.

I reduced from 75 mg daily to 75 mg one day and 37.5 mg the next for one month then just 37.5 for 3 weeks. The first 6 weeks were fine and then everything fell apart. I've been to the ER twice and told to keep taking it. Now told to increase. No family doctors available in Ontario. I'm not opposed to taking medication if necessary and it likely is but would like it to be the right one. It's frustrating and frightening.
