I believe your withdrawal symptoms are only going to get worse if you continue to make 50% cuts. Is getting off Effexor fast really worth the misery it’s causing? I hope the 50% cuts weren’t your doctors idea. These symptoms may not soon resolve either so just in case be prepared. I hope you slow down your taper for your own good.
Good luck and please taper SLOWLY!!!

I agree with you 100%.
My new doc said that when I begin to reduce again, he wants to reduce by morning meds by 25%!
I know from experience, that is WAY TOO MUCH of a reduction!
