I have been searching the www for as much info as I can find on effexor, I have been on it for at least five years, at this point I know most the symtoms that all of you have mentioned and effexor is dangerous to come off of, I have attempted several times to get off of Effexor and it is not pretty. The side effects that I have while I am on it are just as bad. I would not care if you caught my hair on fire, I dont care about too much. I now have RLS, I can not sleep, some kind of seizures or shaking (not to be confused with brain shivers during withdrawl) if I do sleep, night sweats, leg aches and weight gain are some of the few. I could come up with more but my memory is not as sharp as it was in the past. I have told and asked doctors about this, they act as if I was making this up in the early stages of my encounter with this drug. I guess now they are some what saying that there is a problem. I have gone from 225mg down to 75mg a day over a long time and I still have a way to go, God bless you all.
