> > It's great you've found something that helps your migraines. That is an excellent idea to keep an emergency stash of Effexor. I had a horrible experience coming off Effexor. It's definitely not you - I had all of those symptoms and so do many many others when they miss a dose.

I do still get migraines, but only once a month or so. Before I went on Effexor + BuSpar, I had a continuous migraine that lasted about four months straight. :( No kidding.


That was me, and I feel very sorry for you with the migraines. What an awful thing! I thought I was going to die...nothing helped til it went away on its own. I can't imagine four months. You must be a strong person to have gotten through that....
