Hi, I'm SeaTurtle

Hi Sea turtle, welcome to the TC 🙂 You are in fantastic company - a bunch of Effexor taperers are here to advise. Here's a great article to start with https://taper.community/resources/blog/how-to-taper-off-effexor-xr

Welcome to Taper Community! We recommend Hyperbolic tapering - monthly reductions of no more than 10% of the previous month's dose. The reductions will therefore get smaller and smaller as time goes on. The greatest changes in receptor occupancy happen at very low doses, so tapering this way is safer and easier on the brain. If you go to the Tapering Protocols, Symptoms & Self-Care, and I Need Support sections of the forum and click on the Guides tab, you'll find lots of helpful advice and tips. The Resources section also has lots of helpful information. I'm also tapering Effexor, and there are many of us! Please reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey! Catina 💜
