Tapering Effexor (venlafaxine): It's only a good idea to taper Effexor (venlafaxine) if you and your psychiatrist agree to this, and you're sure your symptoms are in remission. Please discuss your desires with your doctor before changing anything about your medication. If you're both on the same page, s/he can help you with a tapering schedule.
