Is this the correct way to remove beads for Effexor withdrawal?

I began with the help of my internalist and NP to wean off of Effexor 150 and 37.5(twice per day). After a CHP test they found that Wellbutrin changed the properties of the Effexor so I may or may not need to go back on Wellbutrin after weaning off of that in April/May. I am starting a new med in conjunction with the Effexor until the Effexor is out of my system and this is a very long process. 12 weeks. Thank goodness they set up a table for me to follow in regard to the capsules when and strength. It's working well.

Thank you for your response. I wish my doctor were that helpful. He has not idea about bead counting and suggested switching back and forth between 75 mg and 37.5 which I will NOT do. I am on my own in this.

I am curious as to what a CHP test is? I am on a withdrawal period right now from Pristiq which is the sister drug to Effexor. I also take Wellbutrin.

thank you!
