I am glad you found this web site. It will answer a lot of your questions, I know it sure has helped me. As far as the "ZAPS" yes that is a very common withdraw symptom. Some people refer them to brain jolts, it's not the name that matter's though, it is making sure we are all there for each other. Read the threads from Bebe, she has a lot of information that will be very useful for you. I know I say this over and over and doctors probably don't like it, but Adavan is a good medicine to take if you are having really bad withdrawls and you need rest. I know just from experience, that was the only thing that saved me from HONESTLY killing myself. I have three kids, those kind of emotions and thoughts shouldn't even be going through my head, and it was all caused from effexor. I used the adavan to just help me sleep. They are very addictive so I only ask for five at a time, but you only need one maybe two on a bad day. It is just really nice to have them in there when you can't take another minute of the suffering. Good luck to you sweetie. We are all going through it on this thread of Dr. Bob's web site. So if you have anymore questions, I am sure one of us will write you right back.
Have a happy New Year!!
From,
Wanda
