> Effexor withdrawal? My daughter is bi-polar. She takes 100mg a day (am only). If she forgets to take her med, she has a bad headache, stomach ache, dizzy, and feels awful. We keep some medicine at school so if she forgets, then she has her med at school.
> Old-lady? I now have week containers for am and pm. Still I forget if I have taken it--I think the drugs have slowed my thinking/remembering.
> Hang in there. JJI had been taking Prozac for 2 years to no avail...could see nor feel any
improvement. My Dr. put me on Effexor.... and HOOBOY
It effects-her!...I felt awful on it. Lethargic with constant headaches…. But worse than that...when I went off of It.I now have terrible night sweats/restlessness, and pins and needles when I walk. I have gotten so bad, I can't function. Anyone else
having similar withdrawal reactions? This is terrible!Sincerely,
Linda
