I've been on Effexor 150XR for 15+ years and tried 2 times to cut to 75XR. Cannot be be done. If I want to reduce I've got to go to non XR and then then slowly begin to reduce beads. I feel for you as I know the horrible effects of withdrawal. Nightmares, felt like I was in another world. Keep trying as you are young with a life ahead of you.

in reply to @ave13 Thank you! I failed to mention the nightmares because I thought they were unrelated, but now that you have shared this information, everything is making sense in terms of the tapering. Young? Well, I suppose at 62 I am young, but I do have a very old soul.
Thanks again
