All, thanks for the responses.
I can now say that I am experiencing two sensations. What I had described before is a pulse, via my heatbeat, that I can feel "like thunder" throughout my entire body. It's like every vein reverberates with the pulse.
I am experiencing the electrical pulses in my head but not as often.
Funny, I was at the doctor's office today for a check-up on a middle ear infection I had a few weeks back. The infection is gone and the doctor gave me a good bill of health. However, I did comment that my hearing was slightly off with a tuning fork. He prescribed a full hearing test. So off I went to another room. They placed me in one of those special sound-proof rooms and hooked me up with ear plugs for the tests. I began to slip into a state of inner examination. Through the silence of the room, I could hear, feel, and sense every sound going on in my body. I experienced ringing, the electrical pulses in the head, and the thundering pulses of my heart through my body. WOW! It was the first time that I actually just clocked out and listened, to the sounds of my own body. This was a great experience, as it was just this morning, in this process, that I realized I had the electrical pulses going on in the head. This was new compared to the heart pulse.
On a side note to all of this, I started taking Allegra -D a few nights ago. I've noticed that if I take one tablet in the morning and one against around 3pm, the heart pulses are not nearly as strong or noticeable.
FYI for those of you who are in the same boat!
Thanks for your comments and feedback. I can't tell you how much value this discussion group is to me. The good news is that I remain clean of Effexor; five days now. I will not try any other "drug" that is comporable to abstain the effects of my withdrawl. Aspirin, Tylenol, Allegra are all considered to be ok. But I will not go back. I am committed to staying clean.
Thanks again.
- Mark
