You’re already more than halfway there since you now know the trick. It’s just a shame the doctors don’t know that you have to ween so very slowly! Please, go so slowly you do t have ONE withdrawal symptom! It IS possible! I took 18 months to week off the lowest dose but with no real withdrawal symptoms.
(Don’t get me wrong, I still use an antidepressant/anti anxiety drug. I think my body/brain need them - but I did not suffer withdrawal from Effexor. You CAN do this. )
