Wow this is quite a long thread and almost 2 years old! Effexor and getting off psych meds in general is always a hot topic. I don’t know if this has been mentioned but the only thing that worked for me to get off the final bit of effexor was to take a low dose of Prozac for a week or so... it’s called a Prozac bridge. My apologies if this has been mentioned before.

Thanks for the tip. When I get tapered down to the lowest level, I’ll ask my doc about it. Yeah, it’s a long thread bc there are millions of people on these drugs that have concerns. Maybe they should be investigated like the opioid crisis. Just saying.
