I'm going through the withdrawl now. I've been on this medication for over 2 years now. My doctor never said ANYTHING about withdrawl when I asked to go off. I was only on 75 mg. I asked to go off, he said fine. Gave me a sample packed of 37.5 mg for a week and said to take those then nothing. The week is over, I'm on day 3 and I just want to die. I cry constantly, I'm practically bed ridden, I get these shocks all through my body almost every second. I'm contintually hungry but want to vomit. My mouth won't stop watering and I have to spit all the time because swallowing makes me sick. I'm restless and can't sleep. Why are doctors so stupid. If something has side effects like this, they should not be giving it out. Please, if someone reads this, NEVER go on Effexor. I hate my doctor for this and will never go back to him.
