I forgot you have been taking it so long. Personally for that reason I’d taper more gradually. There is always the chance of delayed withdrawal. 3rd time is a charm if done slowly enough.
Good luck,
Jake

I would like to do it by smaller increments however the EFFEXOR XR are in capsule form and the smallest capsule size is 37.5 mg. The doctors won't order the regular Effexor since I've been on Effexor XR for so long. They said that switching from one to the other can be as difficult as tapering down.
