Greetings 323Linda,

And welcome aboard.

 

So you would like to taper Effexor I see.

I'll give you the link to that tapering topic today, and also our harm reduction recommend for tapering.

 

Tips for tapering off Effexor and EffexorXR(venlafaxine)

 

Why taper by 10% of my dosage?

 

Please summarize your drug history in your signature(just click on the underlined passages to read the topic, and see the instructions for how to do)

 

You've now introduced yourself to the community, and can use this page, your Introduction topic, to ask questions around your taper, communicate with us, and keep a journal of sorts if you'd like.

Tell us a bit more if you would like to.

 

Best, Love, peace, healing, and growth.

Late 2023- gone to emeritus status, inactive, don't @ me, I can check who I've posted on, and I'm not really here like I used to be......thanks.

Started with psycho meds/psychiatric care circa 1988.  In retrospect, and on contemplation, situational overwhelm.

Rounding up to 30 years of medications(30 medication trials, poly-pharmacy maximum was 3 at one time).

5/28/2015-off Adderal salts 2.5mg. (I had been on that since hospital 10/2014)

12/2015---just holding, holding, holding, with trileptal/oxcarb at 75 mg. 1/2 tab at hs.  My last psycho med ever!  Tapered @ 10% every 4 weeks, sometimes 2 weeks to

2016 Dec 16 medication free!!

Longer signature post here, with current supplements.

Herb and alcohol free since 5/15/2016.  And.....I quit smoking 11/2021. Lapsed.  Redo of quit smoking 9/28/2022, and again finally 5/25/24.  Can you say Hallelujah?(took me long enough)💜

None of my posts are intended as medical advice.  Please discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical provider.  My success story:  Blue skies ahead, clear sailing
