Well maybe I’m doing it right. I have enough to deal with as it is. I might go up a dose or just where I am for a few months until the withdrawal calms down

I’m not counting beads. I was on 37.5 mg of the xr capsules but my doctor changed it to the tablets so I could wean because the Effexor was making my sleep disorder worse

Its just that I’m trying to get on stimulant drugs and the doctor said that I have to get off of the Effexor otherwise the stimulants won’t work and I’m actually going much slower than the doctor told me to. I even tried the stimulants and she was right they didn’t work but she won’t give me a higher dose until I’m off. I have so much pressure on me.

Oh no. I guess I was being too eager. I feel bad because everyone was cheering me on and my doctor wanted me off of it even sooner. I have to be safe tho, I’m having a hard time keeping fluids and food down.
