Hi @Jozroy, welcome! What dose were you at when you stopped Effexor? What symptoms are you dealing with? The Symptoms & Self-Care section and I Need Support section both have Guides with lots of helpful articles. Click on the Guide tab toward the top and you'll find them. I hope things ease up for you soon! Catina 🌸

Welcome @Jozroy! I too am off Effexor. What side effects are lingering, and what kind of taper did you do?

Historic experience tapering off: Citalopram 20mg | Zyprexa 2.5mg | Effexor 75mg | Valium 20mg
