Hello @califas and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will notice that I have moved your post into a very active existing discussion on Effexor and tapering. I did this so you may review previous comments and also so you an connect with members like you such as @vfrifr @sears and @sherry47 who have all recently shared about their experience.

Have you consulted with your doctor on tapering and also shared your feelings about your medications?

Thank you so much! Yes, Ive mentioned it to her. My psychiatrist is amazing! I have brought up my concerns and has mentioned she wants to start tapering me off in a month and I started to worry. I am being proactive by finding solutions that others have used to bring to her attention to see what she thinks. I hope I never have to take this medication again.
