Opps, I didn’t know that posted. If I’m no smarter than that you better think twice before taking any advice I dish out.
I’d decrease the dose by approximately 10-15% or cut the 37.5 tabs in quarters (each quarter will contains approximately 9.375mg) then take 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 of the quarters for at least 2 weeks each. I’d even cut the last quarter in half. I’m probably overly cautious. It will take about 98 to 112 days to get off the venlafaxine. Remember, even if you reduce your dose slowly it’s no guarantee you will totally avoid some symptoms but it will definitely help.
I wish you well in whatever you decide. I hope you can get off this stuff.
