If it were me I’d never cut the Effexor in half. I’d take it slower. But that’s me. Good luck everyone.

I started with cutting to 75 mg from 225 mg a day. Let my body "adjust" each time before going to halves then quarters. Tapering slowly is key!!!! And not feeling like a failure if your body reacts in such a way.... you have to increase you dose for a while.
Good advice. I am one of the lucky ones!! Thank you!!!
