I\'m really glad I found this board. I have been on effexor 75mg for about 3 years. My girlfriend noticed over the last 6 months mood changes etc. I decided to discuss with my doctor getting off it. He was supportive and said because I was on such a low dose I could just stop. I did that 3 weeks ago today. My thinking has become clearer, and I\'m much more positive. Now the downside. Since quitting, physically I feel like a wreck. Headaches, stiff neck, flu symptoms, stomach problems and just feeling of blaaaahh. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I wonder how long this whole withdrawl thing is going to last. It\'s like a catch 22. I felt better physically on it and it did help with anxiety, but mood swings and negativity were bad. I guess I just want my cake and eat it too:)
