Hi Gergoyle, and welcome to Taper Community! I'm sorry you're having issues from tapering too fast. How are you doing at the moment? It might be best to hold things where you are until things stabilize. It's interesting that you're a physical therapist too, so you get to see the other side of things in dealing with patients. Yes, so many people are multiple drugs. You sound like a provider who really cares about their patients. Please let us know how we can help you best, and we look forward to supporting you as you recover! Catina ❤️

Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 18.56 mg
