Welcome, Deedee. Cold turkey off Effexor is rough, glad you got out of that and are going slow with the other one now. That takes real patience. Happy to have you!

Hi @Deedee1, welcome to Taper Community! I assume your doctor added Prozac to deal with the cold-turkey of Effexor? I'm sorry for what happened to you. Yes, continue to take things slowly. How have you been feeling? How is your taper going? Are you tapering Hyperbolically? We look forward to supporting you! Reach out anytime. Catina 🩷

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.28 mg
