@mmesco Welcome. I hope you find some hope and support being part of this group. I am, right now, tapering off the benzodiazepine clonazepam. When I am through with that, in about 3months, I will begin to taper from the Effexor as well. Right now I am on 150mg so I hope it takes less than three months. I wish you the best of luck on your taper. Please continue to let us know how you are doing!

I was in 75 of Effexor and I took a year to go off of it, and still had bad withdrawal. Please go slow

In my personal opinion I think your being to aggressive in your thinking about getting off Effexor in three months or less. I hope your tapering off Clonazepam slowly enough so your not having any side effects when you start on the Effexor.
