starriol Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Hi guys! I've lowered my dose from 100 mgs to 50 yesterday morning. So far so good (knock on wood, haha!). Everyone is always posting all the negative effects about withdrawing, but which positive effects did you get after quitting venlafaxine or it's cousin, desvenlafaxine? I want to get psyched up about looking forward to something good, instead of scared about possible withdrawal Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTastybutt Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I've never had negative effects or withdrawal symptoms from quitting any of my meds. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderful.Cheese Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Well I got less manic. That's something I guess. Take it easy though when going down on your dose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starriol Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Good news everyone So far, so good... knock on wood... It's been 3 days and since most horror stories started before that time frame after lowering the dosage, I feel quite confident that it's fairing good (a strong knock on wood is in order, hahaha!). I'm off clonazepam as well, and so far I feel more alert, more emotional, in the sense that I feel happier when happy and sadder or angrier when experiencing those 2. So far I prefer this! Let's hope it continues fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
