I felt like it was time to do to better with life without being dependant upon anything. I wanted to develop mind control and hopefully I will. I have been taking 75mg since January 05, and my doctor lowered my dosage to 37.5mg. Last week for seven days I took one every day and this week I am taking one every other day. Let me just tell you, it's been rough. Last week everything was perfectly fine but now that I am on the every other day schedule, I am experiencing MAJOR brain shocks, but only every other day when I am not able to take a dose. I'm very worried about next week when I am completely without anything. Do you know how long these brain shocks may or may not last? I'm very concerned. Thanks and good luck to you~ Hello, after consulting with my doctor, I decided to get off of Effexor XR. I felt like it was time to do to better with life without being dependant upon anything.

But you did the right think going to see the doc and reading up on it. Anti-depressants can be highly adictive and are all to easily prescribed and forgotten by GP's. I deffinately believe they have a place for helping people through difficult times, however, psychological therapies are often a preferable and longer lasting way to control any life difficulties. (CBT is short, cheap and often preferred by insurance companies). Is it best to smother a problem with drugs or work to try and solve the root cause take it easy Hey,
