I have read everything... all very useful. It's just a bit of a mishmash. So, you mention "I WAS using 2500 mg." When you went off Effexor? When you had a stroke? How much do you take now? And, why? Thank you!

I was taking 150 mg of effexor. I had been on antidepressants for 33 years. This was my last medicine of 16 to get off of. The worse one too.
I went cold turkey. Result was I had a stroke.
I am completely recovered now cuz I do what ever it takes.
You are dropping to fast. You will suffer hard.
Someone here is the expert on opening capsules to count out so many beads to cut your dosage easier. It takes longer, but keeping your mind and body moving helps tremendously. Do what ever it takes!
BTW, I am an RN.
I used to order from Lazarus natural. Now I make it myself.
Start with 25 mg of CBD a couple times a day. Incease it to 3 times a day if necessary. Your body will tell you how much you need. Listen to it.
