I would love to be your friend... Hell barely even starts to describe what it's like. I can't believe that they can prescribe this stuff! I have been off Effexor for over a month and a half now.... and good news- doing soooo much better. All I am struggling with now is the leftover depression. That is bad enough, but at least the dizziness, insomnia, pain and head zaps have stopped. I started taking Benadryl during the day and at night - to stay clear and believe it or not, it helps. I also started taking fish oil caplets and it actually did help me focus- I took about twice what it recommeded as a supplement. Ask any questions you wish and I will be happy to try to help.
