Hey all,
I've been off the Effexor for about 10 days now. I am still on 20mg of Prozac though. I have started to exercise again. Don't feel like to I need to eat everything all the time, etc. As for 'brain zaps', if that's what I'm still experiencing, I will try to describe it. I get a buzzing sensation all over my body, it seems, several times throughout the day when I'm moving around (taking the stairs, putting on coat etc). It definitely starts at my head. It is a much milder form than I experienced when I was on actual withdrawal....but still....I wonder how much longer this will last? I enjoyed reading all your descriptions. It is very hard to describe but I have a feeling we are all talking about the same thing. It's like trying to describe how it literally feels when you're drunk. Everyone has a different experience with it.
PS- I wouldn't recommend breaking up with your boyfriend throughout this- He's the reason I withdrew in the first place. He never knew me off Effexor. And the low libido was an issue. But I guess that is for another board:)
