I have been withdrawing from effexor with next to no side effects. This is how I am doing it. We will use 75mg as an example. The first week I would take- day 1- regular 75 mg does. day 2- 37.5 day 3- 75 mg. day day 4- 37.5 mg. day 5- 75 mg...I kept this routine up for 7-10 days and let my body tell me when I was ready for the next step.
week two- I took 37.5 mg. every day. week three- day 1- 37.5 mg day 2- no pill day 3- 37.5 mg. day 4- no pill day - day 5 37.5mg. and I continued this letting my body and mind guide me. the last week I took no pill. No side effects at all. just take your time and listen to your mind and body.

Thank you for sharing. That is pretty much the way I planned to do it. I take so much, 150mg in AM and PM (2-75mg at a time). I am think of stsrting with my pm pill then the am pill.
The week after next i will finish my pill boxes that I've already made then start.
