> am quitting Effexor and in the last couple of days have gone down from 75, to 37.5, but am getting electric shock type sensations in my head and back, was wondering if anyone else has had these and for how long after stopping. What does it mean, Im sure it cant be good for you? Thanx!
I've never taken Effexor, but have experienced what I think are similar type sensations when
quitting zoloft. I learned that this had to do with not tapering the amount slowly enough-- if that makes sense to you.
Perhaps instead of reducing by half you might consider reducing by 1/4 and then later 1/2 etc. Just a thought.
