Interesting idea... it doesn't happen all the time, and it's not particularly bothersome, but I'll talk to my doc about splitting the dose and see if this helps. Thanks for the idea.

It seems to only occur when I'm lying down (trying to go to sleep) and I only feel it at the back of my neck/base of my skull. It isn't painful, but is somehow unsettling, kind of like hearing fingernails on a chalkboard. Aside from an occasional missed dose early on, I have only ever increased my dosage of Effexor. Has anyone else had this type of experience not associated with withdrawal?
