I am holding steady (more or less) at 25mg tablets twice per day for now. Because I have tried twice to stop Effexor, and succeeded for 2-3 months, only to "crash" and have to resume the drug, I am hesitant to start tapering again. When ready, I plan to reduce by 5% over as much time as I need to adjust without withdrawal symptoms, before tapering another 5%, etc. I need to look into obtaining titrating strips--or go back to the 37.5mg capsule so that I can count and remove 5% of the contents over time. Actually, I am hoping for a miracle in the meantime.... that pharmaceutical companies will be required to provide the drug in lower doses!
