Why is this thread continuing? I’m a newcomer and to see over 2,000 comments on one comment is overwhelming and not at all helpful. There should be moderators closing or helping this discussion.

Hi,
I don’t understand why you feel this thread is not helpful. I believe the people are grateful for our opinions because they know we genuinely care about them. Maybe they will follow our advice and perhaps not. We all hope our advice helps those with concerns. I wish something like this had existed back when my Epilepsy began but no computers or support groups where available back then. I’m sure the powers that be would appreciate any suggestions to help improve the site.
Have a great day,
Jake

Hi @42430, and welcome to Connect. You're quite right that this discussion is over 2,000 messages long and growing. Members have connected, formed relationships and continue to support one another as they taper off venlafaxine (Effexor). This is precisely the core objective of Mayo Clinic Connect: connect with others to improve health and well-being, set goals, report progress and get support from fellow members when one reaches milestones and even when one has an unexpected setback.
I have sent you a private message to discuss your concerns privately, so that we don't detract from the main topic of this discussion.
