Happy pill decision

After being on 300mg/day of Efexor since 2009, I was hoping to reduce that to about a half now. However coming down on them turned out to be much barder than I expected, and I even had to get smaller pills so as to come down more slowly. Even so I'd spend about two weeks feeling really sick in the stomach and nauseas. 

Eventually it wore me down. Particularly that horrible time I ended up spewing on the bus on the way to the dentist. Ack. Both the psychologist and David agree that it'd be best to just leave myself on the 225 now that I've managed to come down to. Maybe look at the issue again in a few months. Lots of changes happening isn't a good time to be doing anything major to my anti-depressants.
