From what I've read by other posters, it may not have helped you all that much to have cut back slowly...just prolonged the pain.
You will be okay. Fortunately, you weren't taking Effexor all that long. Now, here is where I shouldn't really be advising you cause I have zero medical background, but the 5-HTP and the SAMe-400 (Jarrow, manufacturer) just might assist you in feeling better from a depression standpoint if it isn't something that is extremely overwhelming, just moderate. They definitely help your mood, especially while you are feeling all funky and going through this drama. If someone wants to criticize me, it is that recommendation that I should get blasted for. The SAMe comes with a warning that it shouldn't be taken by people who are bipolar right on the box and a few other things. Please read the warnings to make sure that it is something that you can take and that you don't have any drug interactions that make it unsafe for you. You can get it at Whole Foods or any health food store. I found it to be especially helpful.
