Im on day 37 with out effexor right now. It got better after about 10 days, but that being said, yesterday I had 1 of my worst days yet. I take alot of vitamin b-12, actually all the b vitamins, fish or flaxseed oil, and a multivitamin, also benadryl seems to help, but it puts me to sleep. I really feel for you, im afraid we are in for the long haul. I am trying to vent my anger in the direction of wyeth, the drug maker and my doctor. We need to stop these people at whatever cost. If I didn\'t have a wife and 2 beautiful daughters, I dont know if this would be worth it. But for now I just pray and look forward to the day the symptoms are gone. I hope your brain clears soon.
