Hi DP,
Well, I've had quite a ride on Effexor. I started at 37.5 about four months ago, titrated up to the "average" of 150mg/day, but that was very activating for me - I felt caffeinated, lightheaded, my legs felt rubbery, and I was anxious. My pdoc backed me down to 75mg, and I'd say I was on that about 3 1/2 months, then about two weeks ago, I went down to 37.5 mg. I am now scared to come off it because of the bad stories i've heard about withdrawal (and I went through that with Paxil). I'm going to be "brave" and do it soon. If you have more questions, don't hesitate to ask!
