1.Drink tons of spring water. Not the chlorinated junk from the sink
2.Eat a good, healthy diet high in protein. Your brain will need the protein, especially animal protein to heal from the neurotoxin.
3.Exercise-May sound horrid to you, but do what you can. It helps.
4.Benedryl was a good suggestion
5.A good multi-vitamin(not the crap like centrum. Try the liquid kind)
6.Colloidial Trace Minerals, Fish Oil(Carlson's Liquid Brand), Magnesium(do a google for Amino Mag 200-good product. All these things will help you heal
7.Faith-WHen I feel my worst I look to the Lord for strength and guidance. He hasn't let me down yet.Hope this helps

I am usually able to 5 things at once and gradually I began to notice that I would actually forget what I was doing and walk away to do something else. I couldn't remember doing the 1st thing until I went back and saw I had started something. It was driving me crazy. I couldn't even remember if I had taken my medicine or not. I also would drive around and forget where I was going. This is just one of the side effects I had from Effexor (there are many more, and the withdrawal was extremely scary). I am on different meds now and feel much better. I have my memory (and a lot of other things) back. Not sure if this the same as in your case, but It was my experience. Please feel free to pick my brain :) Take care, Jenna

> I went off Effexor XR Friday and was given Prozac for 10 days to ease off. I am sick as a dog. I feel like I have the flu and like I'm going crazy. I'm having brain blips. I'm dizzy. I had HORRIBLE dreams last night. This has got to be the worst. Other than the Prozac and the aspirin I just took, can I do anything else? Dying here In Tennessee
