Harrison 1775 , Hi . I wondered what this was (Hypnic jerk). I get them as a result of VEN / EFFEXOR . And still get them & I stopped titration @ end Oct 2022 !
I was only ever on 75mg. Cut down to 37.5 in a matter of months. BUT, thereafter took nearly 2 years to titrate off completely. My guess is, (& having read this elsewhere from feedback), you can drop @ first , fairly rapidly , (to circa 37.5). BUT, thereafter , go really slow & extend timeline of titration steps down. This is the only way to mitigate the withdrawal / side effects "kick back". I get narcoplexy , even 1 year after stopping - so have no problem "dropping off". Hope this helps.
