Hi
I too tapered off 225mg of effexor which took me since May, and I saw my pdoc last Wed the 13th I was down to half of 37.5mg. I felt horrible beside lightheaded and dizzy, I felt anxious and very depressed. I was crying all the time. I feel as though I can not make any decisions. Being a single mom this is very hard. Plus I hate for my daughter to see me like this.My pdoc had me on that same day just start taking the new pristiq 50 mg 1 a day. I'm on my 5th day and I feel the same. I'm sure it takes time to change out in the system.
I'm totally off effexor, which I was on since 2001, and it did work great up untill last August when I noticed anxiety coming back in.
you are not alone.
