Just realized my "crashing" and the feeling of losing my mind could actually be from forgetting to take my Effexor for two days now. My doctor has put me on 225mg - have been on it since last January. Several times this year I have had the same occurrences. What usually happens is that I just forget to take it while I'm sick (flu, cold, etc.) Pretty soon I feel like I've gotten sick all over again, but worse. (uncontrollable crying, naseau, headache, blurred vision - the works) This is the first time I've ever "googled" effexor to find out for myself just what I've been doing to my body. Boy, do I feel stupid. Here I thought I losing my mind gradually and having mini-nervous breakdowns. I am really not sure what to do. I know that I probably won't be able to wean off easily - two small children at home and a husband who travels does not make for an ideal situation right now. Thank you to all who have submitted their experiences - it truly does make me feel better -maybe I'm not going insane and it's just the medicine.
