Hi All,
I need some help and some answers. I have finally tapered myself from 150mg of Effexor daily, to 37.5 mg every other day. This has taken me almost a full year to do, and it has been one of the most horrible and wrenching experiences of my life. Before the Effexor nightmare began for me, I had been on Prozac for abot 5 years and it worked pretty good. I've been reading some posts where people who are tapering from Effexor are also using Prozac or Wellbutrin to help wean. Could someone who is doing this please write back and tell me about how it's working for you? I thought perhaps, 20 mg of Prozac either every other day or everyday, might help me overcome this final phase in the Effexor horror story....man, I can't wait for that crap to finally be gone from my system for good. I still get the awful withdrawal effects if I'm late with my every other day dose!
