The past 2 weeks I was able to take just 1/2 of my 75mg Effexor each day. I decided to quit and have'nt taken any for 3 days. I am so dizzy, tearful and fatigued I can barely take it. Does anyone have any advice as to what may help with my symptoms? I want off this drug!

Maura,
Call your doctor about discontinuing the Effexor. He can prescribe 50 mg and/or 25mg tablets and give you a schedule for tapering off it. Abruptly discontinuing this kind of medication is not advisable. Your doctor can help.
Good luck,
Teri
