help to come off venlofaxine
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi. I have been on 225 mg of this horrible drug for 4 years and am now desperate to come off it. Is there a safe formula to do it without side effects. I take 150 in the morning and 75 at night. Be grateful for any advice.

I came off over 10 months and had no withdrawals at all. Do it slowly and gradually. Does not matter how long it takes if you don't get withdrawals which can be bad. Yes the safe formula is SLOWLY SLOWLY.
Perhaps you need help from your doctor with this. Mine helped at first, but eventually, as I reduced lower and lower I formulated my own plan. You are on a high dose, so just reduce by a small amount at a time. Never just stop, lower and lower the amount you are taking. I took generic pills in the later stages and cut them into smaller and smaller doses until I was tsaking a few crumbs on a finger tip.
18 months since I stopped and I am doing well.

I then went onto generic pills and cut them into smaller and smaller doses. Took me 10 months to withdraw but I got no withdrawals at all. 18 months since I quit and I am fine.
The other Anne did it slightly differently. Hopefully you will work out which is the best method for you. Neither of us got any withdrawals so both methods do work.
