Moderator Emeritus KarenB Posted April 24, 2015 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted April 24, 2015 I'm not tapering yet, but my a/d's arent working so well anymore and so I'm getting weird stuff going on. That hung-over feeling is one of those odd things - when my symptoms are playing up, I wake in the morning feeling heavy, groggy, a bit dazed, dry mouth etc. Feels just like a hangover, so I treat it like one. Not sure if that's very scientific, but it helps me. I drink water, eat toast, go outside to breathe in fresh air, have a hot shower. That seems to help me re-adjust a bit. 2010 Fluoxetine 20mg. 2011 Escitalopram 20mg. 2013 Tapered badly and destabilised CNS. Effexor 150mg. 2015 Begin using info at SurvivingAntidepressants. Cut 10% - bad w/d 2 months, held 1 month. Micro-tapering: four weekly 0.4% cuts, hold 4 weeks (struggling with symptoms). 8 month hold. 2017 Micro-tapering: four weekly 1% cuts, hold 4 weeks (symptoms almost non-existent). 2020 Still micro-tapering. Just over 2/3 of the way off effexor. Minimal symptoms, - and sleeping well. Supplements: Fish oil, vitamin C, iron, oat-straw tea, nettle tea. 2023 Now on 7 micro-beads of Effexor. Minimal symptoms but much more time needed between drops. 'The possibility of renewal exists so long as life exists.' Dr Gabor Mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
