wow, i am so glad I came across this. I had no idea my problems were related to taking Effexor. My depression is alot better, but the rest of me is falling apart. The frequent zapping & buzzing in my brain scared the @#$%! out of me and my doctor had no idea what it was. I cant get off of this drug because I get severe migraines, dizziness & nausea. I am literally scared half to death. Anyone out there who would be kind enough to email me so i can talk to someone who understands would be so much appreciated. I am litterally crying right now, A combination of relief that I have some idea of the source of my problems and also fear of what still lies ahead. Thanks all, Laurie P
