After a couple of days of brain zaps & other unpleasantness, I turned to dumping out some of the beads in the Effexor XR capsules, thus reducing the dosage significantly, but not completely stopping it. This is working very well. I’m getting just enough medication to keep the brain zaps, vertigo, and teariness at bay, but still wean myself off the stuff. It may take another few weeks to totally finish the process.

I’m also taking extra Vitamin D (yummy chocolate soft-chews, which are like little rectangular Tootsie Rolls) and several Flax Oil capsules (rich in Omega 3s) a day. These also seem to be helping.
