Yes all the beads should be in capsule except for the amount you are reducing by.
I tried not to dump them out. I carefully opened capsule and sprinkled a few out in my palm/hand. Counted and through away the amount I wanted to take out and then put all beads back into capsule, cover and put into my pill counter container or id doing it daily, cover and pop in mouth.
I highly recommend writing down the date and dose of Effexor, and how many spansules you’re taking out. It’s easy to forget. I would stay in same steady amount t for at least a month or more to give body time to adjust.
