I hear you about the effexor. The only reason I'm still on it is because of the withdrawal effects. Those brain zaps are nasty!

man, fuck those brain zaps.

i dropped down to 35mg for 4 weeks, then started taking them every 2 days for a week, then every 3 days, then i stopped.

When I dropped to the every two days per week period i was taking nefiracetam and also exercising. I still got the brain zaps but it wasnt the full on 'whats going on in my head, make it stop! ouch! fucccckkk!' zap that came with the 75mg doses. it was doable.

nefiracetam supposedly gives you some seretonin so it may of helped there. Its hard to say, im not exactly going to get back on effexor just to see if i can quit them without the nef :O

GOOD LUCK!!!!
