@sears have you considered asking specifically if a hospital has anyone who specializes in tapering off Effexor with successful outcomes? I wonder if that may help get you closer to a provider that would align better with your needs?

I tapered Paxil. 40mgs. per day for 25 years. It’s another rough one to taper. Effexor seems to be the worst. Website after website with people begging strangers for help in getting off this drug. Pitiful. Do we actually live in the United States of America where doctors get us addicted and dependent on these physchiatric drugs and then basically abandon us because they’re clueless?
