Hi Poppy,
I got angry over the last weekend and cut my Effexor dose from 225 to 112.5 and I FEEL GREAT! The Blah's have disppeared, I have more energy and the vertigo is gone for most of the day! My Doctor wanted to increase the dose as well but I was getting tired of a stedially increasing dose. While this drug certianlly helped my 6 months ago (it was almost an instant boost) i think it is hampering my recovery now. My day is almost 3/4 done today and I have only taken 75 mg of Effexor and I really feel good. (So much better that my better-half noticed a BIG difference!) The only side-effect I have had from such a drastic drop was a slight headache but 2 advil took care of that quite quickly! I am going to tell my doctor that I am getting off this drug - I think it's time for me to go on my own anyway.
BTW, No one caught my error on the title --- it's XR not XL :)
Thanks for youre reply poppy!Neh.
