Effexor Withdrawal

I took effexor for 18 days, 75mgs. I am living in hell now.

I tapered to 35.7 mgs for a few days and just stopped taking it. I figured if I felt like I was dying on 35.7 mgs why don't I just go cold turkey.

Everyday I get up with a pounding, thudding migraine, I have extreme nausea,sweating, diahrea, chills, vertigo, and I am mad all the time. These symptoms alternate and come and go all day long.

Sleep??? what is that??when I sleep I have horrible nightmares or I have adrenaline rushes that wake me up many times a night.

This hell has only been my life for 4 days. I cannot eat much because I hate to vomit. I have lost 5lbs already. I look sick and my skin is a yuckky sallow color. I feel like I know what it is like to come off of heroin.

I had my husband flush the rest of the effexor because I don't want to chicken out and have to start all over again. I hate that I did this to myself. I started taking a medicine without fully educating myself.

I hate the drug company Wyeth and doctors that prescribe this addictive legal death in a capsule.

I would gladly welcome the original panic attacks back into my life, the reason for starting this medication in the first place.

This might sound so pathetic but anyone who is a believer please say a prayer for me. I know that I am praying for every other poor soul going through any type of withdrawal.

thanks

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.
