As promised, my successful tapering off Effexor (Venlafaxine)

I just started this journey of tapering for the second or third time. I'm going to do my best to stick with it. This was my first night of reducing from 50mg to 25mg, and then I take my normal 50mg during the day. I woke up a bit panicky. I feel not myself. Will my body adjust to this new dosage or will the entire journey be this way?

It would be helpful for you to read earlier posts on this topic. Experts recommend a tapering schedule of no more than 10%, waiting for your body to adjust (i.e., to be sure you are not suffering withdrawal effects), and then tapering ten percent of the remaining dosage, a waiting period again, and so on. Every body is different, so you'll have to experiment to learn what works for you. Good luck.
