As promised, my successful tapering off Effexor (Venlafaxine)

I tapered from effexor 187.5 mg by my doctor in 4 weeks and my life has been hell. I am 84 years old - a widow for 20 years and have a lot of issues in that time. Years earlier my physician prescribed zoloft. It worked well and 3 was weaned off it by my doctor in a relatively short time without having any problems. I think my doctor prescribed effexor due to my age. What a tragedy this drug has made of my life. Why aren't using your plan. It seems sounder & safer than the plan my doctor used. I no longer want him to treat me. I would love to send him your way of tapering. I will not use your name unless I have your permission. Thanks and God bless.

@cjf I sincerely hope you sent my tapering plan off Effexor to your doctor. He obviously wanted to keep you on it as prescriptions are a cash cow and steady income. So he may not give any creedance to a successful weaning off plan, unless he is truly all about supporting your complete healing from taking the most addictive antianxiety/anti depressive in the market. And I think we all know the answer to that question. I was a lucky one who had the support of my Doctor, who offered a plan that tapered too early for me and I had to figure out my own slower “crumb” dosing. I pray you were successful in your deliverance from this evil drug! 🙏💕🙏🙌

This schedule did not work for me. Was on 37 1:2 venlafaxine. Took me 2 years of counting beads. Counted every bead in every capsule.
