So actually your cutting by a specific milligram which makes the situation even worse than I thought. What’s going to happen as you get farther along in your taper the percentage of what is 25% now will increase which may increase any withdrawal symptoms. I agree switching over to the regular Effexor may come with some challenges and may take a couple, maybe more, weeks to get regulated but it seems more logical to do that than to jump off Effexor at 37.5 and then go to zero. I have little doubt that you will suffer more when you quit than if you convert.
