Hi everyone, I have just become a member. I have in the last hour been reading through some threads, and the support from everyone is great and inspiring. I have been taking Effexor XR for a year now and feel very ready to get off them. I currently take 150mg and my Dr has put me down to 75mg daily. Which i start tomorrow. I just recently tried going off them cold turkey but the sie effects i got in two days where horrible - servere headache, trembling, muscle pain, sadness and slight suicidal flashes. This happened last night and i could take it so i took a tablet. Within 2 hours i was fine. So i am hope the 'slow and steady wins the race' pace is a much easier way to go. I cant wait to get off these meds. They seem to be dragging me down.
