Hi, I'm Charm2

Hi @Charm2, welcome to Taper Community! I love the reason behind your username. I'm tapering Effexor too. I'm glad you're being diligent in doing your own research since doctors generally are clueless about safe tapering. Do you need help discussing the issue with your doctor? We have some information to help: https://taper.community/thread/dbb2cdbb-bb3d-4bb9-93ab-b33de4a3fd0b https://taper.community/resources/blog/how-to-talk-to-your-doctor-about-tapering We recommend Hyperbolic tapering here at Taper Community - monthly reductions of no more than 10% of the previous month's dose. The reductions will therefore get smaller and smaller as time goes on. The greatest changes in receptor occupancy happen at very low doses, so tapering this way is safer and easier on the brain. https://taper.community/resources/blog/how-to-taper-off-effexor-xr We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey! Catina ❤️
