Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

Thank you for this info. I have the 37.5mg entended release tablet currently. I also still have 75mg ER capsules that I was taking prior to the decrease. So maybe it would be an option to use then75mg capsules to split open and count beads… I have read about that on this thread but haven’t tried it myself. Yes- I’m pretty angry with big pharma currently. I would have opted for a different treatment/ antidepressant option had I know how terrible this is to come off of. Thanks again for sharing.

I used to take 75mg, then 37.5mg capsules, so I have those on hand, too. Only trouble is--counting beads is not fun! and I am guessing that your 75mg capsules would have twice as many beads as the 37.5 capsules? But I don't know, as my pharmacist emptied a 37.5 capsule--and I forget how many beads were inside--80? 120? You should be aware that capsules by different manufacturers may contain differing numbers of beads, as well. The capsules in one pill bottle may be the same, but if the next refill is by another manufacturer, one would have to re-count the contents. Yes, I am angry, too. Sorry you are having to go through this!
