Hi everyone,
I am seeing my GP this wk to start tapering of Venlafaxine (i hope!!). The question is that at what stage.......meaning what mesure of venlafaxine do I start 'bridging' onto Prozac?? What do I need to get down to to administer Prozac?
I am taking 267.5 mg per day at the moment. I am going to taper very,
very slowly.........as low as possible...
Hope you are all ok and thinking about you all.....

Can I ask why you are switching from venlafaxine to prozac and why you started on Venlafaxine? I am currently on 225mg of venlafaxine for depression and anxiety, but I am sweating more often in the day and night. From October to January I was on citalopram which seemed to help the night sweats but not the depression or anxiety.
Any information you could provide about your circumstances would be helpful.

Switching due to the horrendous side effects - mainly because Venlafaxine is know to cause more anxiety.
