If I miss as much as one dose of my Effexor (I am taking 225 mg once a day), I get a tingling sensation through my whole body. It can be my face, my hands, even my lips and teeth which seems to be elevated when I am moving, walking, turning my head, etc. Thursday I called my pharmacy for a refill. It seems they can't get it until Monday? I took my last 3 pills on Friday night so I missed last night’s dose only. I am a wreck. I can’t concentrate. I feel all of the above along with the tingling and even here I feel that I am not coherent, or at least, not to the normal level. The depression from this is worse that any of the depression I experienced before going on the Effexor. I wont give it up. But how do I make it thru another 24 plus hours of this?

>Thanks for asking. I am doing worlds better! I called my mother to borrow some of her effexor to get thru the weekend. Within 2 hours I was feeling back to normal again. I made it through the weekend and have picked up my prescription. This board is so enlightening. The pharmacist knew that the half life was short, but didnt expect such problems. He said he would now know to call another store. I wasnt thinking clearly on Sunday or I would have called and asked. Thanks again everyone!
