Bill,
That is my understanding of the approach people have had success with. I don't know about dosing. I do know that the more slowly you can taper off (ie, over weeks), the easier it should be (or that's what I've seen here).
> I have been on effexor for 8 mos at 375 mg and I want off because it stopped working. I have added prozac to keep serotonin levels up, and am now dropping 75 mg per day - at 75. So far no symptoms. I am assuming that prozac is easier to get off of because of long half-life.
