Tips on minimizing withdrawal symptoms from Effexor (aka Venlafaxine)

Just a small math tapering question......I’m not counting beads in my Effexor XR capsule. This method will not work as the beads are different sizes and numbers. But I am weighing the beads...correct? I will weigh a bunch and use the average weight. Which means a particular weight corresponds with a certain number of milligrams, correct? So I will be taking the 5-10% off the weight in grams.....I hope that’s right. I hope this is not too confusing!

Good morning Doorman,
The first mistake of the day you made was to ask me a math question, lol
I'm far from a math expert so I'd talk to a pharmacist. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't much help. They may think of any advice as a potential liability issue.
Are you going to crush the beads into a powder? I think your new dose would be 0.0675g, is that right? If so does your scale measure such a small amount. Have you considered stepping down to 37.5mg just to see how it goes?
