Hi AllI am about to go off efexor myself, I have been on the tablets for over 5- 6 years and have tried the 37.5, 75 and 150mg slow release variety. I have exeperienced the "electricity behind the eyes" syndrome and wondered if it abates? I have tried to come of the drug before , but the "visual remnants" weird spinal feelings and stars put me off........do they disappear in time? I am on 75mg slow release right now, ready to go to 37.5 then it's no more efexor for me! I have also had similar feelings to some other people, lack of energy, confusion, aphasia etc. I think these are normal withdrawal symptoms, but I am not sure....
EFEXOR withdrawal is hard slog!!! But of course they won't be selling that to you......it's all about $$$$$ for them.....
Any help or comments appreciated.......
Cheers
Mark
