@doorman , well based on my research I kept just splitting the dosages in half months in between. Everything was ok from 150 to 112 the I noticed a little derealism zombieness from 112 down to 75 but managed to get through that..but I think 75 to 37.5 may have been too much especially with you kids at home who are at their prime at testing your limits.. I feel little more stable now thought

So you’re taking Effexor xr? Capsules? They have beads inside. Are you counting beads?.

Hi, @cp6401 - how has it gone today with the side effects of the venlafaxine (Effexor) taper? Are you still experiencing the derealism zombieness like in your previous step down to a lower dose?

@brownikl1 - did you come to any conclusions about whether you have been experiencing vertigo?
