Actually, I AM concerned. I was taking efexor for two months and it was turning me into a zombie, so I stopped it. I have a stupid doctor who told me just to stop - no tail-off or anything. About 24 hours after I stopped my head started doing those weird "shock" things and two days later it was happening approximately every few minutes. It would get particularly bad if I was feeling anxious and would seem to settle down as I fell asleep.
It is now happening much less (five days later) but I'm actually really worried about the damage they might have done to my brain if they are mini-seizures. Why do they happen? I went to see the doctor about them yesterday because I was so worried. I'm at university and they don't let you have an emergency appointment without seeing a nurse first. I saw her and she said she thought it was just an anxiety thing and sent me away.
