I was on Venlafaxine for 20 years
I read Deprescribing guidelines by Maudsley Hosp which gives very good information.

I got my doctor to prescribe Venlafaxine solution
I have very slowly reduced to 30mg today from 150 mg daily using a syringe to
Measure small doses
I stick with a specie up to two weeks
37.5mg /5 mls solution

It has been very successful

I've just ordered the Maudsley book on deprescribing that you reccomend. I'm on venlafaxine and mirtazapine. I'll never make the mistake of taking these again but right now I'm getting awful side effects (brain fog, short term memory loss, nausea, disturbed vision etc) and no input barring repeat prescriptions .
Thank you for your post xx
