I am new to this post and hope that I am doing this correctly. I have been taking Effexor for at least 4 yrs. and it has changed my life for the worse. I have 2 masters degrees and at this point can't remember peoples names. My job is suffering due to my memmory loss and would like to go off this drug. I tried to do it on my own and I just started screaming at my son and everyone around me. I couldn't get rid of my anger and was saying things I couldn't take back. I thought it better to stay on the drug than to traumatize everyone. My 14 yr old son was in tears all the time. I tried taking adderal so that I could focus and then I just became flat - I couldn't think at all. I feel as if I am drowning with this drug and my life is wasting away. The quality is 0! I don't know where to go for help. I've had all the symptoms that everyoen is talking about, the dreams, muscle pain, headaches. I am only on 37.5 mg. dose. That seems like nothing compared to what I am reading on this thread.
