Fenny, did you gradually taper your dosage or are you in Cold-Turkey Land? What was your original dosage? I came off 75mg cold turkey just over 2 months ago. It took around 4 days to see a significant improvement in withdrawal symptoms; the electric shocks were gone within 10-14 days.

If you're planning to remain medication free, be prepared to ride out some peaks and troughs in the months to come. In the last 2 months I've had one bad 10-day period (last week), which was fixed with a small (temporary) dose of Xanax. Other than that, it's been good. (Mind you, I have also dramatically cut my consumption of alcohol and I am sure that this has been a factor!)

If you search the archives for `Effexor Withdrawal' you'll find a heap of posts by people who know exactly what you are going through. It might help to be reassured that you will be OK. (I remember thinking that I was going crazy or dying until I read the posts on this forum. :-) )

Good luck.

Alara
