Ceeg,
I am sorry you are going through this, I am also going through this now.. I took my last effexor on Sunday Dec 31. I feel totally wacked out..can't sleep but I am exhausted, electrical shocks, not only in my head but through my whole body. I can't focus, I am anxious, sick to my stomach. I have a pdoc appt today but I will have to cancel..I can't drive. My daughter was late for the bus so I had to drive her to school...wow talked about being scared. I could not focus, and the roads are still snowy from the Nor'easter, lost control twice, but luckily and with the help of a gaurdian angel, I regained control. I feel awful!!!! I have been adding Celexa gradually, and I am now up to 20mg. Celexa has worked great for me in the past, but i developed hives so they took me off and put me on effexor xr...come to find out months later, the hives were from an infection and not the Celexa at all! I wish you the best of luck to you and to all getting off of this med..
PS.. the effexor made me more depressed than when I had started. I am glad it does work for some, but definately not for me.
