I too attempted to get off of effexor and then one day I was sitting in class and I had the worse anxiety attack of my life - I was shaking (convulsing really) and I juts suddenly got up and ran out of the room. This stuff is so addicitive - I drove to the Walk-In doctor and the nurse took one look at me and let me in right away. I hate the light headedness and tingling I get in my hands and feet also that I get when I miss even one dose. My boyfriend doesnt understand how hard it is. I am now down from 150mg to 112.5 and I am scared to go further. What if all the anxiety attacks and depression that I had before this medication come back? Is there anything else I can do? Any advice? I don't want toi live this way. I also find that I crave alcohol a lot more on this stuff. Why>
