Besides avoiding any physical dangers from stopping, which it doesn't sound like you are doing, I would think the biggest risk would be the possibility of relapse into the condition that you originally had (anxiety, depression)

Into the full second day of tapering off my Effexor. Today I wasn’t able to get a full workout in and didn’t stick to my meal plan as usual. Noticed today was more difficult with my mood swings, emotional, more impatient. These were symptoms close to 23 or so hours after my dose, so I was thinking it’s just getting out of my system. Nothing I’m too worried about, very minor on the withdrawal scale. I found a great article on tapering off with charts and schedules on timelines.

Thanks for letting me log my journey!
