hi
i have read alot of the posts bout effexor xr.. i too am one of the people on this crap, that is totally messed up from it.. i am trying to get off of it, but i am not sure i can :( . i have been on it for 3 years, i was once up to 300 mg's a day, i weaned myself down to 75mg and thats the lowest i can go, i take 75mg every other day.. if i try to go more i get awful side effects, some i cant even explain.. some of my symptoms of the side effects are... heart palpatations, rapid heart beat, almost feels like my heart is working hard, and i am just sitting on the couch doing nothing.. nausea, its off and on.. dizziness, irrattional thoughts.. anger, lazyness.. i also have this weird feeling with my face and head, when i move it back and forth, or go to look at something, it almost feels like there is a magnet, pulling my head down, and i get a weird feeling inside my head thats hard to describe, kinda like a fuzzy heavy feeling, its almost like i am looking through someone else's eyes. i also get chills, hot flashes, cold hands.. my periods are all weird.. i have passed 2 kidney stones, and alot of other weird symptoms, like stopping in the middle of a sentance and not remember what i was gonna say.. forgetting things, feeling unable to function with daily tasks i use to do.there is more but i cant name them all, does anyone know how to get off this stuff without going through all those horrible side effects??. i cant stand it!!! thanks
