> I'd be happy to do that if I wasn't on the capsule version of XR (meaning that I can't cut them up). The GP said that if I really wanted to decrease it I could dose on alternate days, to which I replied that I had already tried to extend the time between dosing, but still can't get it above 30 hours without (the well known about on psychobabble) side effects.

> Hmmm, doctors aye, what do you do with 'emHi...I had success with measuring out the little caplet 'balls' inside the capsule. Just try to get 1/2 or 1/4 equal in two doses, and you can go from there. Plus, it may also be helpful to know that Prozac (or just generic fluoxetine) is an excellent drug to use to taper Effexor off of. It can *be* done...so please don't worry...it just may take a bit of time. Wish you all the best,
