How to Cross-Taper from Tablet to Liquid

May 27, 2026··
tips
Directly switching from tablets to liquid can cause issues for some people, so therefore a gradual switch can provide a smoother transition that is better tolerated by your nervous system. The following are guidelines that were shared on Surviving Antidepressants: 3/4 old, 1/4 new for 3 to 7 days 1/2 old, 1/2 new for 3 to 7 days 1/4 old, 3/4 new for 3 to 7 days All new thereafter. Stay at the same dose during the crossover period.

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
Trazodone - 50 mg
Levothyroxine - 25 mcg
