Please go back and do a search of the archives for this - several folks have posted info about this in the past. I never tried this, so I personally have no idea if it works. It might be a good idea to discuss this with your pharmacist, too.
> I have read a lot of posts about tapering and "cutting the pills". My effexor is in caplets (I think...plastic containers with little particles inside them). Is there some way to open these up and separate the contents? I have a whole bunch of 75mg that I am supposed to start next week, but I would rather stick to 37.5 for a while (what I am on now). Is it ok to dissolve the effexor in water or mix it in food or something instead of just taking the whole capsule?
