Be aware that being on Effexor means that going off is a very slow and panic attack process. Don’t use it lightly. I have my wean schedule set up for years worth of small mg wean over 30 days at a time. I tried too fast and it was the worst feeling I have ever had. It also took 2 weeks to feel ok enough after going back on it to even think of weaning.
