Hey Karmic,
I loved your explanation of the brain zaps:) I did the taper-thing and had similar experiences until I introduced 20mg of Prozac a day. It was a small miracle. I was able to taper off the Effexor from 150mg to zero in a few weeks and had absolutely none of the nightmarish symptoms described by folks. (Although I did have very mild mini brain zaps- but it didn't freak me out because I knew what it was attributed to) I've been effexor free now for about three weeks and am happy to report that the brain zaps have disappeared.
I check the babble board every now and again only to try to convince people of the benefits of a small dose of Prozac. I think the counting of grains and granules is craziness! I am far too busy to organize myself to do that. Also I could not have lasted taking the different doses at hourly intervals. Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience and spread the word. Good Luck!
