Effexor Tapering by Ball removal vs compound

Posted by bravemama @bravemama, Sep 25 8:48pm

Has anyone converted effexor to compound for reducing slower?

I got down to -15 balls from the 37.5 after 6+ months super slow due to lots of life challenges,

Dr converted -15 to 32 mg, but when i took the compound i nearly fell over with dizziness which makes me think it must have been too high cuz when i reduce i get different side effects--(sore throat/dizziness also)

Was worried its pain in ass to reduce balls each day and sometimes i drop some so was wondering if reducing by .5 mg or 1 mg at a time would be safer--but now i dont know if the conversion was totally off

Has anyone found a conversion chart from white balls to MG? argh!

I use the liquid form 7.5 mg per ml
My pharmacy supplies it

How many beads/balls are in your 37.5 capsule?
