> *** hmmm, the logic makes sense, in that above 400 mg you pbrobaly drive no benefit from extra effexor, asymptotically hit the therepeutic window limit, so to speak....don't go breaking up the capsuls...again, try the 150 mg step-down but stay there for a godd 7-10 days before you go for another. your body will tell you if you are tapering too fast. all the best, chemist
Just from my experience, 150 mg is too much at a time. You can break up the capsuls if you are CAREFUL NOT TO CRUSH THE LITTLE BEADS INSIDE. Get some empty gelatin capsuls and put half in each of 2 of the empty capsuls. The medication releases when the little beads are crushed or disolved. Most of the beads are not water soluble and react at different rates with the HCL in the gut.
