This sucks, part two

The withdrawal continues. I've taken the next step down. I first went from 300mg to 150mg. Now I'm stepping down to 75mg.

It's just like that time I nearly vomited all over myself at the Bedford County Fair after riding the tilt-a-whirl.

That is such a fucked up feeling. I hate that you're having to endure it.

Ugh, Trop. I'm sorry you're having to go through this. Will this be the final step before you discontinue it?

When I withdrew from Effexor, the effects were so horrendous I had to be put on Prozac. It's easier to go off Prozac, so you may consider that option.

I feel for you girl. I decreased Effexor over a 6 month period, and I still went through horrific dizziness - I walked like a drunk.

:-(

Michelle, I am taking a replacement anti-depressant. I've weaned off others before, without all these symptoms. I've hated Effexor since I first started taking it a little over a year ago. I've been wanting to stop taking it ever since, but was dreading it all the same.

Hopefully the worst is behind me.
