Where Do I Go From Here? Effexor Tappering Ending

Posted by laurie_lu on August 28, 2004, at 23:51:47

I decided to get off Effexor XR a few weeks ago. I've been tapering successfully with the usual side effects that others have had here. I have been cutting the dose in half every 3 days since I was at 150mg to 37.5mg. The first 24 hours I don't notice anything. Within 48 hours the dizziness, headaches, nausea, irritability, sickness is in full force. By 36 hours I feel normal again. I can tolerate this cycle. Now I am down to about 18mg. I don't know how much I should decrease after this point. Should I stop completely or should I cut the 18mg in half? or in 3rds? or 4ths? At what frequency should the dose changes occur? I guess I am impatient and want this to all be over soon.
