Thanks Tracy,
I just wish I knew how long to expect these side effects. I didn't have any effexor on Friday, nor Saturday. I took some today just to be sure that effexor was the cause; I took 37.5 and withing 3 hours other than a head acte all the rest went away. This scares me. I know that medicine can be very helpful, but I should have stayed away from this one.
I have heard that vitamin B and a few other supplements can help the brain fonction properly, and this may be a better way out.
Thanks again.

My G.P. has put me on 5mg of valium twice a day to keep me going for a bit longer as the tension I have had building since I went off has been going into my back. (I have a broad base disc bulge).
