Met with my Phycritist today and discussed the side-effects I was having (agian). He wants me to discontinue Effexor and see if they go away. He said to reduce the dosage to 37.5mg for a week, then half that for a week, and then go off completly. Then if the side-effects go away he will know its the drugs, if they don't then we will know its something else.
I have to admit I am very nervous about this, I DON'T want to have withdrawal problems.
Any ideas?
