getting down to 37 was easy last time but to get of that WOW so I stayed on it I found a group on the internet who are all about effexor , they suggest going down over a period of time by opening the capsule and counting the beads on a black surface ( easier to see the beads) and going down by 10% havent tried it yet , worried counting the beads with arthritic fingers. might try it though they suggested putting the beads not used into a gelatine capsule

You can buy supplies cheaply on Amazon. I bought a kit that had tweezers, among other things. They also have gelatin capsules quite cheap.
@tisme it is possible to get liquid form of Venlafaxine
I get solution 5/37.5 mg from my pharmacy once I reduced from 37,5mg twice daily
You can therefore reduce by micro doses
@tisme
Can you tell me the info on the group online that discusses getting off Effexor?

@tisme Wow! I wasn't that fussy (counting the beads). I just estimated and poured the beads directly in my mouth and saved the rest in the capsule. Realize the med is already in your system for days, so don't have to be so accurate. I also take Gabapentin and increasing the amount was an option.
