You ARE helping!!!! That is exactly what I needed to hear. You say you are on day 12, does that mean the "electric shocks" are gone? How long and what dose did you take Effexor. I was at 150mg for about 8-9 years. My mood has felt better since I have been off of it with the exception of the shocks...they make me crazy. I have also noticed that I am very quick to being startled. If I am startled for any reason I feel it throughout my entire body and am instantly anxious and angry. I never used to startle so much. I hope things keep getting better for you from here on out (mainly for you) but also for the rest of us to use for feedback. I can't seem to find anyone who has stopped taking this (and not switched to another medicine). I don't want to take any more meds period. All my best to you as I know you have had to have suffered greatly because of stopping the Effexor and that is just not fair!
> Sufferfromeffexor, I know how tempting it is to start taking those pills, but hang in there. I'm feeling much better today (I'm on day 12 since last pill). Even my mood is better. I'm almost starting to feel like there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there! I wish I could do something to help everyone suffering! It truly sucks! -Bobbi-
