In reply to how do i taper off effexor-xr, posted by Aaron Uyanik on January 22, 2005, at 0:15:14
thet make a 37.5 mg pill for this.. if you have plenty of the 75 and want to taper down, I would sugest emptying out half of the 75's for a week. then empty out 3/4 of the 75's for a week. effexor has a short half life and will leave your system shortly after 24 hours, so be prepared with each smaller dosage for some withdrawl effects. they are just a tease to what is coming when you fianlly do stop taking it. when you do decided to stop taking it, remember you are not alone when going through withdrawls. these are actual chemical dependancy withdrawls simallar to what herion and coke and acholics go through. we've all made it through and you can too. keep your eye on the prize!! no more feeling ucky!
