Anyhow, the best advice I have found is called the Orange Juice Regimine: Basically what you do is open your effexor capsule and dump the entire thing into a glass of OJ. Drink 9/10 of it. Repeat this for one week, then go down to drinking 8/10 for a week, 7/10, etc etc. Tapering this slowly will really help and has helped me experience less nausea from goin longer than 24 hrs without the drug.
Also, weaning off effexor creates symptoms of Serotonin Deficiency Syndrome. Do whatever you can to increase serotonin in your body. The best way of course is exercise.
good luck and hang in there.
