you know, information can be our best friend or our worst enemy, depending on the situation. in the case of this board, it's our best friend. you cannot possibly explain to someone who hasn't been there the sickening, vivid nightmares that seem to penetrate your very soul and leave you disoriented. or the uncontrollable crying, feelings of wanting to die, shock sensations in your head, etc. withdrawal from effexor is very real and very difficult. having this board to log into and read allows us the comfort of knowing someone out there empathizes completely. i have gone back and read many of the posts this afternoon. empathy doesn't take the nightmarish symptoms of withdrawal away, but it certainly makes the burden a little easier to bear.
