Down to 37.5mg with no side effects so far. Does it get harder from here?

Tapering

Hi all.. Just looking for some input from anyone who’s tapered venlafaxine before. I started on 75mg XR in April this year. I’m using capsules with 6 mini tablets (12.5mg each), so I’ve been tapering by removing one at a time: July 14-dropped to 62.5mg July 27-dropped to 50mg Aug 8 (tomorrow)- planning to drop to 37.5mg So far I’ve had no real side effects just a bit of acne, but mentally and physically I feel totally fine. I’ve been holding for about 12-14 days between drops. Planning to go slower from here (maybe 3-4 weeks between drops) until I’m off completely. Just wondering if this is the point where things got harder for anyone else? Any tips or personal experiences welcome. Thanks
