@dcclowdus, Sending positive thoughts to you and all on the journey to get off Effexor.
I’m, hopefully, done. After decreasing dosage (from 225 for 15+ years) over a few months, I hope to have taken my last 75 yesterday. I’m hoping with exercise and getting out to walk my dog in our great weather that the effects will be minimal or can be managed with Xanax and taking it easy on myself (allowing myself to be angry or sad).
Take care.

Hi @sarnm. Thats a pretty steep drop coming off 75 mg’s. Have you considered trying 37.5 mg’s for a little while prior to going cold turkey. It might be easier on ur system. Take care and good luck to you.
