I have been on Effexor XR 75mg for about 3 years and am trying to taper off. I was being treated for Fibromyalgia pain. I went down to 37.5 XR for 2 weeks then I have started trying to take it every other day. The withdrawals are horrible. The brain \"zaps\" and nausea and headache, crying \"spells\" and sometimes just a feeling of rage and anger. I like the idea of the orange juice regimine. If I can figure out how to measure it. Thank you for posting. Are you off of it completely? If so how long did the withdrawls last when you stopped? wanda
