In reply to Effexor XR withdrawls - Misery!, posted by slash6767 on August 19, 2002, at 18:53:24
I have read of some people taking the Effexor 37.5 mg XR capsules, and opening them by gently twisting the two parts of the capsule, pouring 1/2 of the white beads out, then re-closing the capsule, and then taking that roughly 18 mg of Effexor XR.
This was to allow another small step in withdrawal adjustment before going to zero.
But, you've already gone to zero. Discuss with your doctor how to get through this I guess.
Maybe Effexor should be reading this and come out with some smaller doses!!
