Effexor withdrawls

Posted by Shocked on August 29, 2004, at 0:11:03

Wow! I can't tell you if I'm relieved to know what is wrong with me, totally angry that I've had this in my body for 2 years now, or ready to cry because I feel so whacked!

I have the whole zapping sensations in my head and body, numbness and tingling of my hands, lips and face, nausea, horrible headaches, tension in neck, shoulders and head, dizziness, my eyes feel like they're darting all over the place, if I turn my head- I feel like my brain has to catch up, etc.

This is unreal. I can't believe that nobody told me anything reltaed to the intensity of all this. I feel so out of sorts and I'm sure that my husband is worried. I was worried. I thought I might have a tumor or something totally wrong with my brain.

This is my 3rd day off of any of it. I was taking 75mg for 2 years, but want to get pregnant this year. I was advised by my doctor to take 37.5 for a week and then stop all of it. He mentioned there might be side-effects, but nothing to this extent. Wow. I'm just floored.

How long does it take and is there anything I can take (non-narcotic) to help?

Shocked!
