Hello there,
I have been taking effexor xr 150 MG for the last year beacuase at some point doctors misdiagnosed me and didnt use their brain to genuinely help me.
I was put on effexor XR a year a go and my health has improved since the the right diagnosis and initiation of the Thyroid treatment.
I have decided to wean off effexor xr 150 MG.
I lowered my dosage to 75 MG ( 2* 37.5-day/night) beginning last Thursday. Started experiencing the brain tensions in the back and electric like feelings , I guess it is brain shivers.
Two question, planning to stay for 2 months on 75 MG and then 2 months on 37.5 then completely off.How long I would expect this brain shiver to continue these days?
What could I take to alleviate the tension and those feelings in the back of my neck ? Medications, drinks, certain massages.( I tried Benadryl and it helps in this feeling.
Best to you all who undergo this horrible withdrawal symptom.
Majeed.
