I had been on Effexor, 75 mg a day for approx. 18 mos. I recently completely stopped taking it after weaning myself down to 1/4 of a
25 mg pill once a day. It has been 5 days now since I've been drug free. I am still getting "brain zaps", feel extremely fatigued, headachy
and "on edge". I am hoping these withdrawal effects will go away completely. My pyschMD told me that there are a relative few who need to be hospitalized for their
dibilitating effects. It took me literally months to wean down, but even so, its no guarantee that you'll be free of
Effexor effects.
