A member asked:
Is the tapering process usually more difficult with effexor (venlafaxine) as compared to other antidepressants such as zoloft and celexa?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: This is true. We frequently taper most psychoactive medications, but venlafaxine seems to be more problematic than others.
