Re: Effexor Withdrawal

I started taking Effexor about 2 years ago. A therapist gave it to me for depression. Little did I know what would happen if I accidentally skipped one day. I would be laughing one minute then crying the next. I just recently started seeing a new Dr. who told me that the Effexor was causing me to have hight blood pressure. So I have now gone from 150 mils to 75 mils and am on my 4th day of the 37.4 mils. This has been the worst week of all. I have been sick as a dog. Nausea, headaches and I feel this weird electrical shock like feeling go through my body. I feel like I am going crazy and the people in my family don\'t know how to react around me. I just want to curl up in a ball and not leave the house. Will this EVER go away? I am glad that I found your website. thank you!
