Were it me I’d switch to the tablets. I believe venlafaxine comes in an immediate release 37.5mg tablets, not sure if it comes in any other dosages.

It comes in 25 mg tabs. I took those for 2 weeks then cut in half for 12.5 for 2 weeks then cut those in half. It’s hard to cut them any smaller but that gets you to 6.75. So I went to zero after 2 weeks of 6.75.

@jakedduck1 @rschroeder I was on 25mg regular release Effexor and generic venlafaxine the whole time I was on this drug. Last dose was April 14, 2018, so it is definitely available in 25mg tablets (that can be cut; note: these are small pills!).
