> the effexor is going to be a real pain, but those lovely little capsules open up, so I can take less and less over time
That's a great way to approach things. In my experience with Effexor, it is not necessary to allow withdrawal symptoms to appear and persist. I would simply take whatever minimum amount that will cause them to disappear whenever they emerge. Gradually, you should find that you need less and less Effexor to allow the same interval between the appearance of withdrawal symptoms. I find nothing wrong with dosing 4 times a day. I would remain flexible rather than stick to a rigid taper schedule.
> wish me luck :-)Yup.
