> It's definitely better than the first few days when the nausea and dizziness was unbearable, but still have some weird things going on. I'm having a horrible time falling asleep and night sweats once I do. The frequency of panic attacks is much greater than before I went on it, but I'm not ready to consider that among the withdrawel symptoms yet.
> This sucks, huh?
Yes, it really does!!! I went to my pdoc on friday. He didn't want me to wean myself off the way I was doing it. He has me on a schedule for 2 months to get off this stuff. 2 weeks at 25mg 1/2 morning and 1/2 evening then 2 weeks 1/2 morning and 1/4 evening etc., till I finish. He told me that he doesn't like to give effexor out because of the withdrawal factor.So, I am going to try it his way and see whats happens. I wasn't doing well the way I was doing it. LOL
