Ah, I think I'm going crazy. But it's nice to know I'm not alone. Not only am I experiencing withdrawals from effexor down from 150MG to 75MG for 4 days to 37.5MG for 4 days to nothing...I'm on my 2nd day effexor free, but I'm also almost 6 weeks pregnant. Before finding this site I thought a lot of my symptoms were pregnancy related but now I see they could be from withdrawal as well. I knew the brain shivers and light headedness were from withdrawal because I've experienced them before from missing a dose. But I've also been have very vivid dreams, incredible night sweats, and trouble sleeping, all of witch I was blaming on the pregnancy. Now I see it could be from either. I'm glad to be getting off this drug, both for my baby's safety and mine, but these withdrawals are aful. Not to mention the other pregnancy symptoms I am having. The possible long term withdrawal effects are scaring me though. Has anyone had these brain shivers or any other symptom go on for long term? Is there anyone else going through pregnancy and withdrawals at the same time? Thanks for everyone's support. It's great to know I'm not completely falling apart.
