I have been taking Effexor for about 1.5 years now. I'm on 150mg once daily. I was on vacation last week and ran out on Thursday. I had no idea what was wrong with me. My head was Swimming. I couldn’t even drive right. I was yelling at other drivers. I really thought I was cracking up. I filled my prescription this morning and ask the pharmacist if my head floating off my body and the bright white lights in my head when i tightly closed my eyes were withdrawal symptoms. She said absolutely. I want to thank you folks for being honest in these posts. It really helps to hear others having the same problems as me. i really thought I was going to have to go to the emergency room!!! I now wonder if I will ever be able to get off this stuff. I feel so much better now. I was really starting to panic yesterday. Even beer didnt help!!
