jafco Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I interpret this to mean you can open the capsule and use the entire contents in applesauce or such, but you cannot divide the contents of the capsule in any way. STRAIGHT FROM WYETH'S EFFEXOR FAQ PAGE: http://www.effexorxr.com/faqs.asp#6 How should I take EFFEXOR XR? EFFEXOR XR can be prescribed in different dosage strengths (37.5 mg, 75 mg, and 150 mg). The usual starting dose is 75 mg, but only your doctor can tell you which dose is right for you and whether it will need to be adjusted over time. EFFEXOR XR should be taken as a single dose with food at about the same time every day, either in the morning or evening. The capsule should be swallowed whole; it should not be divided, crushed, chewed, or placed in water. The capsule can also be carefully opened and its contents sprinkled onto a spoonful of applesauce. This should be swallowed immediately and followed by drinking a glass of water. Do not chew this mixture before swallowing. If you miss a dose of EFFEXOR XR, it can be taken later that day. Don't try to "make up" for the missed dose by taking 2 doses the next day.

CrazyBen Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Who gives a funk what WYETH think? They heavily push their poison without any mention of the severe withdrawl symptoms and then expect people to be able to go from 37.5 - 0 in one step? bloody idiots with there fake science don't really have a clue what they are doing!

There were a lot of contradictory posts floating around so I figured "why not go to the source"? (the bloody sods)! I think I've found a way around the problem though! You can get the immediate release tablets, (not the XR shit). They actually come in a 20 mg dose, and they are scored so they can be divided into 10 mg doses. At least that makes it a little easier to get off this poison. Every little bit helps! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
