Bless you. Thanks for sharing. Your "dream thing" happened to me while withdrawing. I felt like I was having two lives - one when I was awake and one when I was asleep, because the dreams would pick up right where they left off. It was disconcerting, to say the least.
The disconnection and lack of motivation nearly ended my marriage. I couldn't do anything about it. I thought it was me, until I found this site and saw that it was this hell-pill that was making things worse, instead of better.
I can't imagine the lack of conscience that those who are suppressing this information must have.
The "zaps," or brain-shivers, will go away, but it takes time. I've not been taking the effexor since before Thanksgiving, and the rare one will sneak up and surprise me.
Take care, and thanks again for your story. I know that all of us here sharing our stories will be of invaluable help to those who are just finding out about this horrible drug.
Have you signed the petition?

So far, there are 4528 signatures. That says that we are NOT alone, and that we are not a "noisy minority."
