> well the brain zaps are fewer i have noticed. i have been super busy (and stressed) working on a dilemma with my boyfriend, so i think i have been too busy to notice any other side effects. it's really not too bad. i tried before to taper off but couldnt. i have only been on for a few months - but the head zaps are really wierd... hopefully they will end in another week or so. thanks for all the suggestions!
Hang in there, it takes a lot of willpower to put up with the w.d. effects. For me on the fifth day it was too much and I had to take a little bit of Celexa ... but it totally masked the withdrawal effects and I've been off my usual 300mg Effexor for close to a month now. If it gets too bad I would go see the doctor and ask for a script for prozac or something similar.
