I am starting to taper off my Venlafaxine and decided to do some google searches on dosage and tapering. A key point of several articles was, (as a new user to this group I'm not allowed to post URL's or web addresses yet), that the symptoms arose due to the short half-life of the medicines and the possibility that manufactured doses were too large to use in tapering without having significant symptoms. Subsequent online searches on tapering revealed an exciting possibility - tapering kits. An organization in the Netherlands provides specialized dosage tapering kits customized to each patient and doctor. Do an online search for Tapering Strip made for Cinderella Therapeutics. I think I'm going to give it a try - coordinating with my doctor. It's interesting and sad this is happening over in the UK and the Netherlands, but not here in the US yet.
Has anyone in the discussion group tried these?
