In reply to What is the med. with the WORST withdrawl symptoms, posted by badmood on July 24, 2004, at 18:31:06
From my personal experience, EFFEXOR! I have never had such a withdrawal from any medication that I can remember. I was on 300 mg/day, then went to 150 mg for a day and quit. My pdoc told me to do two days at 150 mg, but what would it matter???? I quit taking it due to the electrical shock feeling I was getting. Thought it was from Wellbutrin, which I was taking with Effexor, but the shocks continued. Called my MD to get a second opinion and they think I was having an allergic reaction to Effexor. Since last Thursday, I have been extremely sick, flu symptoms, still having electrical zings, but not as intense. Today is the first day I have not vomited. I have been extremley tired, wicked dreams. I will be glad when it's all over and I am back to my "normal" self, or whatever that is!
