In “The Antidepressant Solution” By Joseph Glenmullen M.D. (a great book on withdrawal)

"Dr. Glenmullen" says "Go back to dose at which you were symptom free."

You are not alone google effexor petition. You are normal.

Sorry to be so late to reply to you this is "normal" in a sense you can stay at this and try to be prepared for these time a lot of folk think they are strong before going through these experiences then find hey I am not what I thought. I am currently of a mind that anyone can be reduced to blubberring if their brain chemistery is messed with and indeed we are a chemical soup. Now one thing to think about here is this these attacks may become worse I had time while withdrawing where I would have to say I was psychotic luckily they were generally short lived and I had been thru withdrawal before 5 times no less from other antidepressants so Ya i know what hell is.
I got thru it but we are all different it is the brain chemstry I have not tapered but have read countless hours of internet information on sites like this to keep myself alive and have watched over the months and folks tapered online seems the rule of thumb is no more than 10% of your current dose for 4-6wks then do another drop of 10% of that dose. The schedule most docs got from the drug company is too fast for many people you may find tapering helpful. Reinstating the drug does not always work and sometimes people have a reaction to it. That is what I know from reading about it. You will have to decide for yourself as it is your lif. Good luck to you
