I was up to 150mg myself and then I quit taking it two weeks ago after slow & careful tapering. Right now I'm going through withdrawl symptoms but that is to be expected. But I can tell you what my last 2 months on Effexor were like. I began having night sweats and soaked my bed sheets and T-shirt nightly. I was having very disturbing dreams. My hands and fingers began twitching uncontrollably and tremors were always there. I began feeling more depressed than usual. My vision became very blurry and my head felt 'funny'. I could tell something was definately not right and yes I was feeling more tired and was feeling very forgetfull. I chose to go 'med free' and it is working for me while it may not work for others. Be prepared for a hellish withdrawl though if you decided to stop taking it. Slow tapering is a must.
