I've been on 75 mg capsules of Effexor XR for about 5 years. Daytime sleepiness and weakness has been a problem though. I was up to 5 of these capsules at one time, but came down gradually to 2. I am going to start Nardil soon so my Dr told me to stop Effexor. Which I have done. Suddenly
Well today I've felt little more than dead. Sleeping all day on and off although the depression followed me into my (awful) dreams and I'd keep trying to wake but it was so hard due to sleep paralysis. Also "gaps" in consciousness. Are these the brain zaps people talk about? Puffy eyes, unable to open my eyelids properly
Is this to be expected? And how long will it go on? Does anyone know the washout period from Effexor XR to Nardil?
Thanks everyone
Fred
