"hi, 
    like others, i have been on medication for 10 years, effexor that is @ 300 mg a day!! now i see that is wayyy to much! i should of researched it when i started effexor. coming off of effexor took a month of slowly weaning down, still was really, really bad... the worst it felt like! 

i went for 4 weeks without any depression meds, i wanted to see how i would feel. the first 3 weeks after my last dose of effexor @ 75 mg every other day for a week, (so u know where i was chemically), the first 2 weeks after my last dose of effexor was wonderful, i thought i am ok!
the third week being on 0 antidepressant i was really bad shape, mentally. so i made an appt. with family doc, told him how i felt and he recommended trentillix. continued"
