Hi.

I'm not feeling too bad, just a slight headache, but I'm doing something later today and I want to be sure I'm feeling OK for that. So, should I take my dose now (it's 3.34 PM where I am) instead of waiting for the dose before bedtime?

Thanks.

I definitely would.

I was on Effexor years ago and it was horrible when I forgot to take it. One time I went out of town for the weekend and forgot the Effexor at home. It was not good.
Thanks for this!

Thanks. I did take it.

How did it go when you had to taper off? How slow did you do it?

It was a long time ago so I don't remember how long it took me to taper off of Effexor. I know I strictly followed the doctor's orders. I think I felt dizzy for a week or two. I remember walking into work feeling like I was on a boat or something.

Good luck!
Thanks for this!

Always take it but only if it isn't too close to your next dosage. Assuming you take it once a day, I am glad you took it.
