I quit taking my Effexor in mid-March of this year. I quit cold turkey, because I no longer had insurance and couldn\'t afford to pay out of pocket cost for the medication. I ended up going through one week of vomiting/nausea and another week after that of vertigo and restlessness. I\'m off of it though, and I\'m doing much better now.

I too just shoved my problems in the closet, I\'ve had to learn all over how to deal with my emotions. I was on Effexor for five years...

But I feel great now that I\'m off of it! I\'m healthier, happier, and more vibrant.

I really feel that this medication robbed me of four years of my life...and I have whole sections of my memory that are missing. My hands trembled, I had chest pains, lost most of my coordination, and forgot entire conversations while taking this medication.

I am so relieved to be free from it.
