In reply to Re: Effexor Withdrawl - crashed and burned, posted by Dr...Not! on November 19, 2003, at 13:35:36
A big "Thank You" to everyone posting their experiences. I second Dr. Not's gratitude! It's very helpful for me to know I'm not going through this alone. I've taken something from all of the recent posts I've read.
I took the first small step from 75mg XR to 37.5 regular Effexor twice a day. The same dosage, but even that was a little shaky. After Thanksgiving I will try go to 25mg twice daily and hopefully settle in from that by Christmas. After the new year I'll think about splitting a 37.5, half in the am, half in the pm... and then maybe even split a 25! I knew those math classes would come in handy some day! Anyway, I don't have any personal experience with this yet, but it seems to me like the XR confuses the body. With the regular Effexor you at least know what your getting, when your getting it and that five hours later half of it will be out of your body.
Best to everyone.
