@tisme Venlafaxine comes in 75 and 35 1/2 mg capsules. So my insurance allowed my psychiatric nurse to order these lower doses so I went down over time. I am about to do so again.....150 to 75mg. Actually you can open the 150mg capsule and pour out some of the beads in a cup approximating how much you want to lower the dose which I am about to do.

Me too.
On uk we no longer have Effexor made by Pfizer. We have Efexor, one f, by Viatris.
Pharmacists are saying it is not suitable for tapering because the spheroids in the capsules vary so much. It has been impossible for me to taper with it.
Please, has anyone else found this?
