I have gone from 225 mg to 150 mg and then to 75 mg with not much difficulty. I was then able to go to 0 mg this last week. I did not get the horrible Stephen King nightmares like I have on drug holidays. But I do get the sweats and shocks and dizziness. The desire to drink may be due to the deficiency of neurotransmitters that were being supplied by the Effexor. It takes a month approximately for those adjustments to be made (adding or discontinuing). Sorry you are so miserable.
