Anyone use a 3-day Prozac bridge to taper off venlafaxine (Effexor)?

I started 10 mg of Prozac several months ago at the same time I started weaning from Effexor. I’m on 40 mg of Pro now and it has taken me almost 6 months to get down to 37.5 mg of Eff. Been on this level for 1 month and having anxiety and trembling and fatigue . Not lowering it until I feel I’m ready. And it will be compounded so I can go real slow.
I really feel badly for you. Best of luck.

Thanks for the reply. I have been cold turkey 300 ml venlafaxin now for 5 days, did the prozac bridge and started lexipro yesterday. To say i felt like dying the last 5 days is an understatement. The withdrawals have been the worst thing i have ever went through. I dont recommend any doctor suggesting this to any patient no matter what they read. Its cruel and downright evil.
