of Effexor XR on Sept.
6th. I went down by 37.5 mg. to 112.5 mg.
for two weeks. I had trouble sleeping the first week but other than that, I felt better. (I was feeling tired and depressed – the same symptoms I started treating initially). I assumed I no longer needed the medication when it was causing the same symptoms I was taking it for.
The fact that I felt more awake and alert and more cheerful showed me I was on the right track.
After the two weeks at 112.5 and sleeping better the last of the two weeks, I decreased by 37.5 again to 75 mg. Again, the first week I had trouble sleeping but was feeling much better emotionally. I stayed at 75.
mg. for 3 weeks to be sure I was stabalized at that level and then dropped to 37.5 mg. Everything had gone along great until I tried to stop taking the 37.5 mg. after two weeks.
