Going on week 2 of Effexor withdrawls. 8 years of directed usage by doctor. Tapered down from 225 mg to 150, then 75 mg. Split capsules and took approx 37.5. Still having major withdrawls. Kratom and HTP 5 help but still brain zapping,sweating and overall discomfort. This medication should not be legal and doctors do not adequately inform of the effects of stopping. Just venting....sorry.
