Thank you for saying what you did. Honestly, if I did not find this board while going through this Terrible withdrawl; I would be in the mental hospital. I really feel like I'm going crazy. I didn't quit cold turkey but I was on a high dose of 450mg. The weird "whoossh" sound (as others have called it) is really getting me. And then you add the body surges, the dizziness, the bad dreams, the shakeing, the increased depressive thoughts....anyway, you know what I mean, the list could go on and on. Yesterday, was my worst. I wanted to just end it to excape the maddening mental pain not to mention the physical aching; but I held on and made it through. I almost even took some of the Effexor in hopes of finding relief. My husbands laughs today about it, but I was actually bribing him to try and get some of the meds. I can't wait until this is all over. It makes me so upset at how mis-informed we were. Again, thank you for replying. It is great to have this board for help.
