Hi Stacey, can you tell me the process please? I am desperate to get off Effexor after several unsuccessful attempts which included counting the beads. I am currently taking 75mg ER capsules. I would be so grateful for your advice.
Kind regards, Anita

I would help but I’m not trying to remember the sign in. It didn’t used to be like that

Did you go down by 10%? I decreased by 12.5mg which was probably fine until I hit 50mg or 37.5mg. At that point I wish I had know about hyperbolic taper. I'm a mess now 3 months off Effexor. Tried tiny reinstate with 2mg for 7 days, now 4mg last two nights, but not feeling better. (Btw, this tiny amount was advised on survivingantideprassants.org)

I'm going to get 10mg Prozac tabs and break in half to take 5mg a day. I've seen the 5-HTT occupancy graph and it should be more than sufficient. I just don't know if I should keep taking the 2mg of Effexor I restarted or just drop it and hope only Prozac helps.
