> I would not know how it feels, because I have not OD on Effexor. I found out about the side effects as the doctors want to call it, when I missed taking it. I called my doctor, told her I wanted off of Effexor. Her come back was "Why would I want off of it." I told her I do not want to take any meds. that take months to get off of. So I had to go it alone. I break the pill in half twice. I can miss a day and thats it. I really don't like the withdrawl at all. I have head aches, a feeling of being shocked or zinged (I guess the shocked feeling is the same as zinged) and feeling Like I will throw up at any second. After thinking about it dizzy at times. I have taken Busbar and another one that I can't remember the name. I went right off with just some shakeness. I think doctors should do more studies on Effexor before giving it out. My mom is taking a form of it, but it is in a capsal. Mine is shaped like a house. I don't know what the difference is. If she misses a couple days she cries all the time. I would rather have the cring as a side effect then what I have.
Please no one take anything to try to end it all. There is always something new around the corner. What if it is a better way of life, you will miss out and not know it. Besides it is the chickens way out. Happiness isn't handed to us on a silver plater. Some times we have to work at it.
