> HELP!!!! I am going off effexor...have been totally free of it for 6 days...I'm screaming at my kids, crying alot, really, really tired...using benedryl to help counter the head zaps and other wierd feelings removing effexor from my body generates....will this get better? would taking St. John's wort help? can anyone give me hope that this will end soon....? Thanks.
hi marjean, chemist here.....make sure your benedryl is free of pseudoephedrine and is pure (active ingredient) diphenhydramine. don't go with st. john's wort, too many questions still unanswered on that....if you are predisposed to herbal remedies, try valerian or kava kava, but equal precaution as with st. john's wort...yes, it will end soon....your brain needs to readjust to being without the effexor....give it some time, stay calm, and back off on caffeine/nicotine (if used) in the immediate future. you will be fine! with warmest wishes, chemist
