I'm getting off Effexor. This is my story and voyage with the medication called Effexor, now in generic form Venlafaxine, and the way I'm getting off one of the most difficult antidepressants made.

Antidepressant download to 110 mgs.
When I last wrote, it was 2 weeks ago and I had progressed down to 110 mgs. from 150. I have had a good response so far. I have noticed a better energy level than I usually have. Typically I have a drop in energy at about 3:30 - 4:00 pm every day that is so bad I can hardly keep my eyes open. I haven't had that lately but when 9 pm or so comes around, I'm ready for bed. I have noticed a little of the weepiness but not too bad. Last week I was going to go down to 100 mgs and noticed a vicious headache coming on so I did bump the dose back to 110 and decided to stay there one more week. I was coming down 10 mgs at a time and felt like I was having great success. Getting to 110 feels like success to me.
