I ran out of my a hundred 150 mg Effexor and because I have not seen the psychiatrist she won't renew the prescription I do have 75mg monthly prescribed but I tried to get my primary care to give me the hundred and fifty and go off the 75 but he wouldn't do it either

@wandasophia have you dropped from 150 to 75 mg? Or are you taking 2 of the 75 mg ? Sorry if I'm not reading your posts correctly, it's not a great brain day for me. The important thing is, not to drop too quickly, so if you can manage to adjust your dosage for a,slow taper that's what is recommended. Did your PCP give any reason for not continuing your 150 mg dosage?
