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!

I believe your absolutely right Ronnie. I wouldn’t chance a 25% cut either. Your way has been successful and withdrawal free. Isn’t that the ultimate goal? I don’t understand why a doctor would risk your well being by trying to change something that has worked so well. Although I can’t say your doctors way won’t work just as well but again, why take a chance with the unknown. I do believe it would be better to take Effexor daily but obviously you have shown there’s more than one way to skin a cat. You deserve a lot of credit and you certainly have my respect. Your showing others how to get off this medication withdrawal free. Patience and time equals a successful withdrawal free taper, seems like a no brainer to me.
Keep up the good work!!!
Jake
