Good luck with the withdrawals. I got off of Effexor after 13 weeks and got the shocks coming off of it. The symptoms are a kind of visual related feeling of vertigo or imbalance with a electric shock feeling like hiting your funny bone. When tapering at 75 mg steps per week it was tolerable. I still have mild, infrequent, shocks after three weeks of no Effexor XR, and occasional dizziness. Not bad though. My emotions are more stable now. (Watch out for anger/sadness cycles coming off.)
