I\'ve been trying to get off Effexor for years, but the dizziness and mind zaps were simply intolerable. I just recently successfully got off it and here\'s how to do it fast: If you take say, 300 mg a day, you can easily go down to 150 mg the next day, stay on it for 3-5 days, and then go down to 75 mg. Once you\'re on 75 mg, break apart the capsule and put all the little dots on a plate. Count out 30 dots the next day and take that for 3-5 days. Then go down to 15 dots for 3-5 days, then down to 10, next 5, then 3 then 1. Adjust for whatever works for you, it could be more or less. NO ZAPS. NO DIZZINESS OR WEIRD FEELINGS. The only caveat I have is now I have a tremendous sex drive whereas I didn\'t before, and it\'s VERY distracting. Yes, probably very much like getting off heroin. But if something like that doesn\'t bother you, this method is GREAT! It\'s worked so well for me I just had to share it!
