Effexor discontinuation symptoms

Posted by fires on March 4, 2004, at 17:10:55

Dropping fast from 225 mg. About 75 mg every 3 days. So far have been very tired and have "achy" eyes and ringing ears @ 187.5mg, 3rd day. Do these symptoms often change as dose is decreased? or will I merely have more of the same? Anyones input desired, except those who: 1) say discontinuation will kill me or 2)say the symptoms will never go away. Thanks.

Wow! Dropping 75mg every 3 days is very, very fast - almost like going cold turkey. Dropping 75mg every week, or even every two weeks, is more tolerable. Good luck.

I thought it was too fast. I think I'm going to slow down somewhat. Maybe 37.5 mg every 3-5 days. Thanks

even that is pretty fast. i suggest you read some of the other posts on this site to get an idea of what to expect.
