How Much Longer Will It Take
The last three years have been taking venlafaxine 150 mg daily and its now gone down to 75 mg a day because dont think its working very well.
Now have been spacing out feeling disconnected debranched frustrated angry sad concentration is poor is this side effects to coming off them or weening off them cutting dose when eventually come off them want to try something else.

Re: How Much Longer Will It Take
Chances are you dropped down to fast. This drug has a crazy half life and because of that it needs to be tapered off real slowly. I know of people who crack open the capsule and count the beads when reducing the amount. The main thing to keep in mind is the slower you go the less side effects and other difficulties you will face

take care
