effexor xr problems
by lala1234, Oct 05, 2007 11:47AM
Hi everyone.
Can someone please tell me when the withdrawl symptoms will stop? I tapered off as the doctor ordered, however now that I am completly off I feel as though electric shocks are floing from my brain to various parts of my face then body. The dizzy feeling is similar to a bad hangover, which might explain the nausea. So please give me a date this all stops or an antidote or something because quite seriously this sucks. I have anxiety issues as it is... now I get to feel like this?
Thank you so much

I was on 75 mg of Effexor for a year, and it took me an entire year to get off it w/out negative side effects. I know a/b those horrible shock things in your brain- I almost felt like a was getting electrified every few seconds, or something. It was horrible! My best friend was also on the same amount of effexor, she tapered off like the doc told her to, and she was fine. Me, however, had a different experience. How much were you on?
If it were me, I would either just suck it up until it gets better- or if it's too unbearable, get back on a tiny bit (until the shocks go away) and SLOWLY taper yourself off. Experiment. [Isn't this great medical advice? :) ]
Good luck

yes it is great advice. I thank you so much for your answer too, its more then my doctors give to me and I pay them. I cant wait for the research to show exactly what happends to the brain when coming off these meds. Thanks again
