Life after Effexor is working out fine for me.
I've been off of it for 18 days and the ringing, squealing, brain shivering feelings have been reduced to almost nothing...steadily decreasing by almost half each day to the point that now I really don't have any noticable effects at all.
Going cold turkey was not easy, but I really do feel good. I'm on Remeron, 15 mg/day, and while the depression is still with me...since getting off of the Effexor I now feel able to actually work on doing something about that...on the Effexor, I didn't care about working through the depression, I was just irritable, agitated and a little hostile and doped up like I was wrapped in cotten balls the whole time.
Things seem to be looking up...it's the first time in over a year and a half that I've even felt optimism, so life after Effexor has started off good for me.
