I read in one of the posts that someone was opening up their effexor xr capsules and removing some of the little tiny balls inside. Does anyone know anything about this?
I do not like this drug at all. The side effects are horrible, I was put on a smaller dosage and now the crying and mood swings AND side effects are just not worth it. My PCP is pretty much worthless. The only reason I went there was to help get on a med because my therapist couldn't prescribe it.
Now, this PCP, who barely knows my name doesn't want to take me off this med entirely (I think it has something to do with the drug company they support).
Anyhow, I want to wean myself off of it. I know not to go cold turkey because the effects of that could be really bad.
Does anyone know anything about taking a bit of the med out of the capsule a little at a time to reduce the amount you're taking?
