Weaning off of Effexor one mg at a time. Started in April 2018 at 187.5mg with the goal of managing to zero. Not medical advice.

In two weeks I will be celebrating 1 year Effexor-free. I weaned down from 187mg/day to zero. One of my greatest accomplishments is staying off of it, and managing depression a new way. #quittingeffexor #effexor #DepressionIsReal

To anyone who lives with mental illness - I salute you. It’s fucking hard. It’s not easy and sometimes you just want to give up. You don’t give up though- you continue to fight. Giving up is simply not an option. Keep strong and keep fighting. You’re doing amazing 💜


Well, hello sad and anxious thoughts that stayed away while I was on #effexor. Now to deal with you properly.

Hopefully I’m not too late to join!

Updating the chart. 7-day moving average dropped to 10mg give Day 2 of zero Effexor dose. I'm watching this melt to 0 on the 7-day average, and then going to enjoy watching it stay there. Some charts are worth keeping current. :) #quiteffexor #effexor #venlafaxine #KeepTalkingMH

Starting Day 2 of NO EFFEXOR!! Getting to this point in the 6 month journey is one of my life’s accomplishments I’m most proud of. Tweeting this so I can look back on it on tough days ☺️ #effexor #venlafaxine #quiteffexor #fearless #KeepTalkingMH #cleanliving


Fuck #effexor. I’m ripping the bandaid today on the rest. Ready to get out of this fog and back to my full self. #fearless #venalfaxine #depression #anxiety #cleanliving


Awesome. Bravo!

I am totally underperforming.

And it is never too late to start.

Down to alternating 9mgs and 18mgs each day. Last 10%. Tapering from #Effexor #venlafaxine is one of the hardest projects to tackle. 5 months + of hard work and patience about to pay off. #fearless #cleanliving #KeepTalkingMH


Starting to get so close to zero that it is reasonable to plan for 'life after Effexor'! Excited and frankly pretty skeptical too. Needed that medicine so very much at the time when I started almost 3 years ago. Ready for the next chapter. #effexor #venlafaxine #fearless

Getting quite used to the "head in a vice" feeling from the withdrawal. Prefer the finger tingles, if I'm being honest. Last night in my dream I impersonated law enforcement to provide cover for a pre-op trans girl that I ran into....helping a sister out! Oh, #effexor.

This deserves a retweet #anxiety

Proud of myself for recognising that I was starting to spiral into a bad place and instead of spending the weekend alone feeling anxious, made plans to stay with family for the weekend and go out for a meal tonight. Feel better and more focused already 😊

I was cleaning up my notes on my phone and found a note from the day I was released from the mental health facility I was in for depression. It simply said: ‘If you turn the lights off and then turn them back on, they appear so much brighter.’ 💡Life is bright.


Damn girl! Kind of can't believe I'm here....it ain't easy but I'm running this thing down to zero. #quittingeffexor #effexor #depression #anxiety #fearless #keeptalkingMH

Huge fan of the pajama day. Growing up my mother called them Mental Health Days! She may be part of the reason I need them, lol, but she was also ahead of her time.
