@leross21 Thanks for your post. I am going through a similar journey as yours. I was on 150mg for two years. In last 4 months reduced it from 150 to 75, 37.5 and now I want to go down to 18.25mg. Can you tell when you stopped taking 18.25mg and describe the withdrawal process after that?

I wouldn’t decrease your dose so quickly were I you. There shouldn’t be any symptoms if you reduce slowly enough. I think Effexor comes in a 25mg tablet. I do not understand why the big rush getting off. Isn’t it be better to go off slowly without side effects?
Good luck,
Jake
