< snip > BUT I have found - from missing doses - that the withdrawal effects are real. For me, they have included strange effects in my brain. A feeling of electricity or shocks, also vertigo when I move my head from side to side or up and down. Then it feels like my head has moved too fast and my eyes take a few seconds to catch up. This prohibits driving, makes me dizzy and feels very bizarre.

Maggie i have all the same stuff when i miss 2 dosses--i currently take 75 mg of the effexor xr...what bugs me most is i lost 35 pounds before i startedt aking it and i SWEAR the meds have made me gain almost all of it back...I tried paxil for 2 months w/no luck..i'm very sensetive and i can tell if they will work or not..and i tried remeron--made me worse than i was if i was not medicated....so far the effexor xr does good except the weight gain and i still feel sub normal though i'm able to function..i hate my dr. and i'm getting a new one next month bu ti have to have on last visit w/this one...sighthansk for letting me vent
