Effexor Withdrawal

Effexor Withdrawal

I am so happy that I found this site, it's a relief to know that I am not alone in my suffering from this aweful drug.

When I had problems with high blood pressure, sluggish digestion, and unexplained weight gain I decided to ween myself off of Effexxor after doing some reasearch and found out that all of these are side effects.

I requested that my doctor take me off of Effexxor. I have been tapering down my dose over the past 5 weeks. I was on 150mg, cut back to 75mg for two weeks and then cut back to 37.5mg for two weeks and then 37.5mg every other day for 1 week.

I only started to feel the symptoms after going to 37.5mg.

In addition to brain zaps I can't think clearly, I'm confused, dizzy, can't get enough sleep, broke out in hives 2 days ago, my skin constantly itches,

I can't bring myself to eat because my stomach feels bloated and am not motivated to do anything.

As the week goes on my symptoms keep getting worse. I had a melt down today in public and couldn't stop crying just because I gained 1/2 pound. This is not like me! I can't take much more of feeling this way, hopefully in a day or two I will start to feel better.

In addition to reading and perhaps learning from these comments, you also need to understand the hidden energies that control your life right now.

I almost feel guilty because my life has become so enjoyable and so easy. Especially since I remember how miserable I used to be.

Basically it comes down to making one slight shift in what you do everyday, and you can watch in amazement as your life slowly begins to start working out in almost every way.

It's such an important change that I've written a complete e-book about it. And I'd like to give you a copy for free. All you have to do is write your first name and primary email address into the space below, and you'll be receiving a link to download the e-book right away.
