hi i just found this site, and wow...pretty cool, i think...but i have been on effexor er for about three weeks, started at 37.5mg for three days, then up to 75mg per day, which i usually take in the middle of the day...anyway, i have been having most of the side effects/withdrawal symptoms listed here for about a week. actually, i may have had symptoms for longer than that, but i had been taking klonopin and phrenilin also, and i ran out of both of them...so now i am noticing that i cannot get to sleep very well, have violent muscle twitching when i do sleep, vivid dreams/nightmares, wake up in the middle of the night and have trouble going back to sleep, little "shocks" of muscle twitching when awake, no appetite, confused thinking...so i want to get off of this stuff before i get more used to it. i only have the 75mg capsules...so how do i go down on the dosage? i have been reading lots of the posts, but i haven't found that out yet, so would like some help from anyone please...!
