Hello @Molly! Welcome...glad to have you here.
How long have you been holding your dose, and how are you doing at the moment? I'm glad to know that you're taking some time to pause and stabilize before continuing.
In the Learn section you can read about Hyperbolic tapering. We have lots of helpful information on all sorts of topics, so have a look around the site.
There is every reason for you to have hope that you can successfully taper off! The key is to go slow enough to allow your brain to adjust and to listen to your body. Unfortunately, this process can't be rushed. But you can do this, and we'll be here to help you along the way!
Let us know if you have any specific questions or concerns.

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 16.64 mg
