how to safely wean off effexor xr

As with any antidepressant the most important thing is to make sure that you take your time and that you do it really, really gradually. If you do this there is a much lesser chance of suffering from any side effects. Taper the dose off in the smallest steps possible, and make sure that you absolutely don’t take a dose and miss a dose to try and halve the amount you take as that will play havoc with you. Most importantly listen to your own body, how you feel and if you notice any difference then make sure you even your dose out for a while. Good luck!
