Well, I don't really want to stay on a dose of a med that'll turn my low usual blood pressure into high blood pressure if I can help it...I wasn't feeling too hot when it was really high, either.
I got down to 37.5 mg effexor and, although first day wasn't great 2nd day was good & today was fine--and my blood pressure is back down to normal---I think the benadryl (1 a night) is helping a lot w/ the effexor withdrawal symptoms--the night I didn't take one they were much worse the next day--...sweating nausea headache--really not much yesterday or today. In fact I feel really good--more awake, less bland---maybe I didn't need that much effexor in my system any more...I'm going to stay on the 37 mg and see what happens--don't want to go completely off--don't want to go back to dropping into depression for weeks at a time. If it doesn't work, there's always the cymbalta
thanks for answering my posts; I'll let you know how it goes.
