Hi, I'm Naomi

I'm looking to taper off my 37.5mg venlafaxine dose, having got here using non-hyperbolic tapering from a 500mg dose at the peak of my use of this medication.

Hi @Naomi, welcome to Taper Community! I'm tapering Venlafaxine too. I have to open the capsules and count out the beads that I take. I'll be more than happy to help you with your taper.
