I writing because I'm curious as to how many of us have experienced long term withdrawal effects from antidepressants- ANY kind. I've been reading alot and it seems that withdrawals can go on for months, even AFTER the last dose of the med. Upon looking back from tapering from the effexor back in november or December, I'm still having problems... it's very upsetting. People get anxiety, "brain shocks", depression, dizziness... Some docs appear to think that it's a "relapse" but how can that be if the symptoms are NOT even why the patient was treated for in the first place!? If anyone has any stories they'd like to share, it would be much appreciated
