> > > I want to start weaning off Effexor. I only take 37.5 mg/day. I just am not sure where to begin. I've heard of taking some of the dots out of the capsule or moving down to the children's dose of 25 mg, but I'm not sure what to do. I've skipped a day before and withdrawal sets in right away, so that's not an option.

>I would try that first & see how it goes. Prozac should cover most of the withdrawl symptoms, if it doesn't, I would split some 37.5mg capsules of Effexor in half & take them for a few days combined with Prozac.
