That's correct. I was stuck at the normal spot of 37mg. However, when I started the desvenlafaxine I also took 75 MG of venlafaxine for 3 days. Then stopped the effexor completely. It worked. I am now. On the 50mg of desvenlafaxine which I need. But when it's time to stop it, the step-down is much easier than stopping the effexor.
