See, you make me feel like I am not going crazy with all the side-effects that I had no idea were being caused by this wicked drug! My Dr did offer to put me on something that started with an L but I refused. Honestly, I told him I cry anyway and am miserable and I am taking meds, why bother taking anything! I was on Prozac and it seemed not to be helping and this is when I weaned onto Effexor! And here I am TRYING to wean off. How do you live with the brain zaps??? The sleeping issues I have come to deal with because to not sleep all night, sweat, etc seems normal to me! The weight gain, well, this is a whole nother issue!!! I pray some of it comes off and the ME that I know is inside will come out! I think I have about 18 150 mg capsules left. I hope I can be off of it before I run out because I am not refilling it! I feel like an addict opening my capsules and splitting the little balls into 1/4ths!!!!
Should I keep on going as long as I can before taking a dose? Will my brain eventually not zap?
