Hi @Pell, welcome!
I'm tapering Effexor too. We normally recommend a monthly Hyperbolic taper of no more than 10% each month. Everyone is different in what they can handle though. Doing a 50% reduction could cause issues, so just keep an eye out for any symptoms.
Keep us updated with how things are going for you!
Catina 🩷
Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.28 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
