This was very successful while taking it, but the withdrawl is by far worse than the benefits.
I have tried to stop multiple times from the lowest dosage (75 mg) but each time the withdrawl is absolutely horrible.
After only 48 hours, I find my brain having some kind of tremers or something that feels like electric shock. Especially whenever I turn my head, move my eyes or hear any unexpected or startling sound.
My dreams have suddenly become highly violent and my temper has tripled to the point that I am afraid to be around others for fear that I may hurt them.
Do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS.
My family and work has been affected worse than when my depression and initial bursts of rage were what caused me to take Effexor XR.
No one around me has any idea why I cannot function. I cannot even think clearly and my balance is off. Nervous ticks are off the charts as well.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be in your debt.
Good luck to any others who share in this...
