Hi Robz, the first time (there have been several) I went off Effexor I was on 375mg daily. Needless to say I tapered. It was rough towards the end...what I learned over time is once you're off the drug completely, take about 3 days' worth of Prozac for the brain/psych problems and some Benadryl for the cold/flu-like symptoms. Works quite well at decreasing the negative discontinuation effects as Prozac's half life is very long compared to Effexor's.
