Hi, I was on effexor for about 2 years and noticed the same "electrical shocks" that would start 12-24 hours after missing a dose. The effexor worked great for a year or so, but when I started trying to quit the electric shock feeling was so intense that i kept taking it for a second year, even though it wasnt doing me any good.
I finally weaned myself off of it slowly, and it was pretty rough for a couple of months or so, but I lived through it.
It has been about 18 months now, and i still get maybe one shock a day or so, or maybe less.
So it is a pain in the arse to quit, but it can be done
