Two and a half months! I don't know how you've stood it. I went off Effexor very slowly then switched to St. John's Wort for a month and a half. During the SJW period I wasn't clinically severely depressed (in a ball on the floor weeping) but was lethargic and unhappy. So I went off the SJW and within a week was in the aforesaid ball on the floor.
I couldn't stand it and went back on the Effexor. WIthin a week I was hit with horrible anxiety, especially in the mornings. I'm now on Klonopin to deal with that and just waiting to see if it goes away. I've only been back on the Effexor 2.5 weeks. It used to help with anxiety.
This drug is so scary.
