Hi @BrightIsland, welcome to Taper Community!
We are at the very same place in our Effexor tapers. Many people just use the bead counting method right until the end. Liquid Effexor only comes in immediate-release, so you'd have to take it twice a day. I'm taking extended-release capsules and plan on continuing to remove beads until I get down to the very last one.
If you go to the Symptoms and Self-Care section of the forum and click on the Guides tab, you'll find lots of helpful information and tips about how to deal with any withdrawal symptoms.
I look forward to us supporting one another as we taper off this drug. I might try the taper schedule that you're doing and see how it goes.
