I've read a lot of the posts here about withdrawl from Effexor. I tapered down for one month from 150mg, which I took for about 9 months. I'm on my fourth day with no Effexor, and I'm in hell. Every waking moment is plagued with horrible sensations - zinging - shocks -- in my head...sick to my stomach...flu-like symptons. I've experienced withdrawl from a horrible street drug habit over a decade ago...and this is just as bad. I just went to the store to buy benadryl...took it over an hour ago...not helping. Someone please tell me how long these symtoms will last. I have high tolerance for pain...but this is borderline too much for me.
