"I suddenly experienced the worst palpitation today and had to go to the emergency department. They did an ECG, and it was normal. I'm shocked that reducing my dose from 10 mg to 7.5 mg caused withdrawal symptoms like this. I wasn't expecting it." — @guava378I'm really sorry this happened, but it's good you got your heart checked. Yes, it's crazy what a reduction can do; that's why it's so important to go slow and even reduce by a smaller amount if we need to.
Venlafaxine (tapering) - Current dose 17.92 mg
