> Out now almost 3 months. The fatigue is still there and occasional bouts with the dizziness and dysphoria. It looks like Wyeth has been busy on this site. It is remarkable how when factual information and reports start hitting these effexor sites, that there is an moderate to massive influx of "good" experiences....most obviously written by some drug savy indivduals. And then there those that write and make know sense at all. Makes you wonder. Anyway, Pamela I'm glad to see your're back. It appears that you have passed through the agitation stage. Horraaaayy!!! I hope things are steadily improving. And those of you that appear to be giving advice on dosage amounts......you are playing Russian roulette with people you do not know. I would strongly suggest that you encourage anyone who is struggling with this drug to take a handful of these posts and get to their doctor.

Hi Leo,
So glad you are back. Although I was unable to post for awhile I still read everyday and wondered what happened to you. Glad it was something good. A cruise sounds great right about now.
Anyway,,, as for the weaning advice. As we have read... ALOT of the poeple aren't getting the help they need from their docotrs for weaning off because the doctors either are educated or don't believe what we are going through is real.
After I got to half of 37.5 (18.75) per my doctor... he too, said I should be fine to quit. As you know from my previous threads that was not the case. So I took it upon my self to start counting the little granules.
I have since educated him with alot of the information from these threads and your research info. I agree that we should not be prescribing to people, but what do you think they should do if they are not getting the help they need from their doctors.
Any insight would be welcome!
I personally see you as the STABILITY AND WISDOM of this site. Other than Dr.Bob of course (SCHMOOZER) (SP)!
I trust you will direct them in the right direction.
Glad you're back please keep us informed.
Sincerely,
Pamela
