I seem to be experiencing some strange symptoms whenever I miss a dose of effexor. I wake up with nightmares and hallucinations and severe pain in my head behind my eyes. As soon as I take the missed 75mg dose the symptoms subside after about 30min to an hour. I also tried decreasing the amt by 1/4 and had the same severe head/eye pain and sweating. This has happened too many times to be caused by something else ...I finally figured out that as soon I a replaced the missed dose I was okay.
What have you heard regarding the withdrawal of this medication?
I appreciate your response, in advance.
