Hi Everyone! I'm new here. I'm getting off Effexor and these are my symptoms - diahrea, shaking or sweating (one or the other all the time), sleeping all day & night or up for over 24 hours, headache, feel like I have a hangover, feel cross eyed, my eyes are puffy and hard to keep open, I'm angry, scared, anxious, nausea and even throwing up. Please tell me how LONG does this last???? I've tried this once before and chickened out, it was so bad. I don't want to give up getting off this med this time. I've been off it for 3 days, this being the 3rd.
I have never been addicted to anything and this is rediculous! I feel like a drug addict, all the while trying to get rid of the depression with this "safe pill" Safe my butt, if I'm going thru such extreme withdrawls how can this be safe!?!
