Hi, I'm Sonia

Hi @Sonia, welcome! We have many members tapering Venlafaxine, including me. I was in the same boat - I did what I thought was a "slow" taper but it was still much too fast! I have had to slow things way, way down. You'll want to do a Hyperbolic taper of no more than 10% a month. Some people can only tolerate 5% or even 2.5%. Find what works best for you. Slower is faster! https://taper.community/forums/effexor https://taper.community/resources/blog/how-to-taper-off-effexor-xr If you go to the Tapering Protocols and Symptoms & Self-Care forum sections and click on the Guides tab, you'll find many helpful articles and tips. We look forward to supporting you on your tapering and healing journey! Catina 💜
