I have been on 300mg before for about one year. I decided to stop after I had started Zypexa for about a week. Both the Dr. and I didn't see any progress from Effexor XR at higher doses so He sugested stoping the Effexor. This Dr. is not the same Dr. that strung me out on Effexor and Xanax. I felt bad for a few days and used the sugested 75 mg per week widrawl. This can be found on the Effexor web site for Dr.s
I stopped, using that formula with little or no side effects.Now, because I had a seizure I had to stop taking the Wellbutrin XR and began Lamictal which has a dual action. One for seizures and the other for Bi-Polar.
I was getting depressed so my Dr. asked me to start Effexor XR at the same level I was using before (300 mg). I feel like hell, want to get sick and vomit, so I am seeing my Dr. again tomarrow. I am not sure which med is causing the side effects, Effexor XR or Lamictal.
Wish me luck.
