Using Prozac to come off Effexor

Posted , 1 user is following.

Has anyone out there used fluoxetine as a bridge to come off of Effexor?  I’m on 75 mgs Effexor (Venlafaxine) & doc had me start on 10 mgs fluoxetine for one week then up to 20 mgs for 2 weeks.  Will start decreasing Effexor to 37.5 end of this week. Extremely fatigued right now after 3 days on fluoxetine 20 mgs.  Anyone else done this or similar?  Thanks
