How long to ween off of 37.5 mg effexor xr

Question

Been taking it going on 3 months seeing Doctor Monday.What is the procedure he will use to get me off of this stuff.It has only made me very very tired : (

Answer 1

I've taken this for years and that is the lowest dose so there's no way to drop down from that dose. Also, you shouldn't worry about weaning because, as I mentioned it's such a low dose. You may feel a little lousy for a day or two but it shouldn't be any worse than that.

Stopping higher doses though (like 150 mg) without weaning - buckle up! That's no fun - I've done it when I ran out and couldn't afford to get back to the doctor. On 37.5mg though, you'll be fine.
