First a big thank you to all who have taken the time to post here. Before today, I was begining to think I was more "Whacko" than when I began taking effexor. It's nice to know you are not alone.
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I started weaning myself off this dreaded drug 3 weeks ago. The electric shocks and sweating so profusely at night and the moods swings and. have become so overwhelming, that I find myself returning to the medicine cabinet to take a pill just to sustain me. I am not sleeping and my family is suffering in part.
I think the worst part is trying to explain to someone the electrical shocks and what it does to your thinking processes. My husband though supportive can't begin to imagine, so when I get a little off track he makes the "ZZT ZZT" sound.
I don't want to give up, but find myself very frustrated. Is there light at the end of the tunnel can you really get off this dreaded med?
