I totally agree. And I am so glad I found this site. I "accidently" went cold turkey with Effexor when I ended up with a stomach virus and couldn't keep anything down -- including the Effexor. I was only off for 2 days, but I am stunned at the side effects I have had. I have been so dizzy. Also I had nightmares that were the worst I have every had. They were more like hallucinations and I couldn't wake up! NOt to mention the nervous shakes, crying spells and hot flashes. I talked to my doctor. I was hoping that I would not have to go back on it because the power that it has had on me frightens me. She said I have to get back on it now, but I am going to try to work my way back off and change meds. I have tried several others and have never had withdrawal like this. And for ME, the benefits have not been any better than other drugs. It's too "mind-altering" for me!
I wish I had know about the side effects BEFORE I started this drug.
