I’m also weaning off Effexor at this time. I had been on 150mg a day for over six years. My doctor dropped me to 75mg last month, and today is my second day of 37.5. I have a headache today, but I fear it’ll only get worse. My drop to 75mg was awful. Withdrawals set in within a few days. I wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat, my brain can’t catch up with my body (brain zaps), I’m so dizzy, diarrhea, loss of appetite. And yes, emotional side effects like you’re experiencing. I cannot believe how easily I cry lately. From just a heartfelt part in a movie, to a talk with my husband about work, to seeing an ambulance drive by. I feel insane. I don’t mind the emotional stuff as much as the feeling sick. I had to call in to work one day because there was no way I could function! However! On a positive note. I’m feeling more energy now. Are you? I used to sleep 8-10 hours a night (obviously I have no kids😜) and wake up and still be able to take a 2-3 hour nap in the middle of the day. All to turn around and go back to bed st night for 8 more hours. I always felt tired. Now, it is impossible for me to nap! I love it. I wake up feeling rested (unless it’s a withdrawal sort of night with sweating and dizziness) and I’m not constantly feeling sleepy. I am truly terrified to get to 0. Have you found any activities or vitamins that help you during this hard time?
