I am completely off the Effexor now, and I guess I can expect to feel all these above effects for a while. Still getting the brain zaps, moodiness, tiredness, inability to think clearly or think of common words/places/people. But, slowly getting my energy back, and the WANT to do something again.
My reason for the Effexor to start with was mild depression. I can definitely live without the med., and I look forward to getting back to "normal", whatever that is.
Good luck, everybody. It's not easy, being on it, or coming off of it. But, I really believe I'm better off without it. To feel euphoric all the time (and not caring about anything else) is just not how I want to conduct my everyday life.
