Hello everyone~
Well, I must say I had NO CLUE what I was in store for when I made the decision to stop Effexor. Like the rest of you, I weaned down the correct way, 150 mg. to 75 mg. to 35 mg. to none..for the past 3 days. Oh my God, I feel so bizarre. I was fine while weaning down, but once there was none.. I started having these weird electrical sensations go through my head and body, I'm having horrid nightmares and waking after each one,and my tongue feels funny..sort of tingly. I thought this was only me, until I just finished reading your above postings..I just never knew.
I went on this med. 2 years ago, because I was dignosed with melanoma. I went off the deep end, and needed help. This med. really did help me, but I don't want to be on it anymore. I'm past the depression thank God.
Do these strange feelings go away? Does anyone know? Thank you in advance..and thank you ALL for being so honest about this issue.
Faith~
