Wyeth Effexecuted Me (_DSC6673)

75mg. This is the second smallest dose of Effexor XR. The smallest is 25mg, which you only receive in hospital when they start you on it. 75mg is the SMALLEST dose you can get via prescription. This makes it that much harder to come off of. You can't reduce to smaller doses without creating your own doses by opening the capsules. It is vital to reduce doses of Effexor gradually or you experience extreme withdrawal effects, which can be life threatening.
