Your posted question indicates that it is mean for people who tapered, etc on their own. HOW it would affect a person is totally an individual thing. No two people are going to have the EXACT same experience.

Perhaps you might re-read what I posted above. I don't support anyone doing a tapering of ANY medication on his or her own. A trusted medical professional is a must.

Consider that with EFFEXOR, there can be drastic consequences including damage to the heart. And totally ceasing the drug cold turkey, documented cases of death have been reported.

I'll say it again: Please don't follow someone else's dosage and means of tapering. Your best success is for you to reach your goal with the lead possible problems, with a doctor (neurologist, primary care) that you TRUST. It's not an easy journey. But I can tell you that it is DAMN WELL WORTH DOING RIGHT.

Best of luck and may you reach your goal.👍🏼
