" 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."
Wait a sec, did I post that? I totally agree with chemist about the valerian. It's great stuff. I bought just the root and made it into tea. It smells awful. Thought I had something rotten in the fridge. I've seen the capsules so that's probably the way to go. I've seen a lot of people on here talk about 5-htp. Someone else I know recommended the Jarrow brand 5-htp, (100 mg) for me for something totally different. I ordered it. I have no idea if it works but want to try it. My friend takes it at night and other people have posted on here that within a day or two they feel a lot better.
It's really hard to come off of this stuff and be around people at the same time. I don't know how supportive your significant other is or if you have anyone to support you, but sleep as much as you can and have as much alone time as you can. Someone else told me to drink a lot of water.
