Well, it depends on what those freaky things are :-). I wondered about my sanity, too, for a while, but after a couple of weeks they settled down more. I quit cold turkey from 250 mg. BAM! It was awful, actually, awful doesn't nearly describe the hell. All I can tell you is to hang in there, sleep with the light on if it helps, and take care of yourself.

> I'm am so happy to see your post today. I am having that weird freaky dream inside of dream inside of dream thing also. I tapered down as my doctor had advised. Two days ago was the day to completely stop taking the Effexor. Boy was I in for a rude awakening. I was pretty optimistic until then. This withdrawl is horrid.
